look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4.25
Appearance: It has a beautiful deep and hazy golden/yellow color to it. It has a nice off-white head that dies down moderately and leaves little lacing.

Smell: The aromas definitely give out hints of honey, floral notes, citrus, grassy hops and bready/biscuity malts.

Taste: Like the aromas, it has some sweet honey, a grassy bitterness, citrus, flora hops, bready malts and some faint grains.

Mouthfeel: It has a medium carbonation with a nice overall balance and feel.

Drinkability: It's a very smooth drinkable beer accompanied with good flavors and aromas. Wow very refreshing and enjoyable.

Now in 16 ounce can.
Pours a cloudy yellow to pale golden with finger and a half of puffy white head that dissipates shortly.
Grainy malt, strongly floral on the nose - distinct notes of honeysuckle, yeasty - almost saison like.
Malty on the palate with lager yeast - again almost saison like - sweet and floral - honey and a touch of alcohol hit.
Medium mouthfeel with modest carbonation - remains sweet with that honeysuckle note hanging.
Decent but not my favourite Maibock.

I have only previously tried Berliner Weisse from LTM which I really enjoyed, decided to try some more from this brewer. Got a 750cl bottle for 7$ poured into a flute glass. Poured my first glass at almost room temp as I forgot to fridge it earlier. Date bottled is a young 2017, only one month old. Had a very hard time removing the cork with my bare hands. Corkscrew recommended.

Look: Pours a cloudy golden liquid with a generous helping of head. Lager-like in color. Second glass pour had very little head.

Smell: Acid, sour, almost urine-like, wheat, maybe some apricot. Not unpleasant at all.

Taste: First notice the smooth maltiness. A bit of hop after a few drinks. Maybe a sprinkle of spice. It's sweet with low bitterness. I think there's some undertones trying to come through. Slight bitterness that lingers. Alcohol is apparent but only mildly so. A bit of a bite.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Low carbonation. A bit of prickling and low heat. Carbonation increases with colder temps.

Overall: Not what I expected. Very malt forward with some undertones of hops. Not bad by any means, but not a big fan of this style. Reminds me of Colt 45, but a lot less harsh. Not too complex, but this is a young one and I imagine a 6-month or so age would round out a bit and bring out some more flavors. Definitely different than any blonde lagers I've previously tried.

Do I recommend? If you like malt heavy beers, go for it. I probably won't drink again.

Great beer, drink a good beer in barcelona. Balance, just the right quality of alcohol. A great way to share conversation with a good beer.

From the 750 ml bottle in a snifter. This nice maibock pours a clear golden
color with a fantastic head of white foam that settles to a thick layer with nice
lacing. Nose of honey, grains, and subtle herbal hops. Flavors follow the nose
with honey and light cereal grains tossed into a medium bitter herbal hop salad
and strong grain alcohol notes. Mouth feel is medium with a warming note (odd
for such a low ABV brew) and moderately carbonated. Reminds me way too much
of many Russian brews I have had.....bold malt and moderate hop with little in the
middle. Overall a decent brew but I would not seek it out again although I do enjoy other
better brewed brews from this brewery.

Cheers

Admittedly, I've never had a German variation of maibock so I'll just have to give my impression of this beer on its own merit. Aroma is fairly typical as it gives off a honey/grainy scent. It has a light amber color accompanied with a generous foam. The taste can be described as lightly bitter and hoppy with even lighter detection of honey feel/flavor. I liked it overall.

On-draught @ Chinaski Lavapies in Madrid. Cost was 4 euro/half pint.

A bit sweet for a maibock, with a taste of honey and helles malts. Plant-like bitterness balances it a bit in the second act.

Smooth, wet, medium-bodied, unrefreshing.

A drinkable albeit forgettable expression of the style.

Got this as part of my Rare Beer Club, one of the few non sour barf inducing beers. Excellent beer IMO. Very drinkable. I'd buy it if it were on the Spec's shelves.

I bought one 375-ml bottle at a liquor store in Montreal called Le bièrologue. The beer was bottled on July 29, 2015 and it can be held for 12 months according to the microbrewery behind this.

Look: The body has the pale colour of honey and is unfiltered. The beer initially produces a two-finger head, but it dies by the time you smell it.

Smell: The malt is hardly discernible. However, the alcoholic warmth, though not overwhelming, is the most dominant aroma. The sharp notes of hops could also be smelled.

Flavour: Although I would not expect a Maibock to be sweet, this beer has brief notes of honey. True to the style, this beer is more bitter than kellerbiers, helles lagers or any other types of lagers. Despite its high ABV, which checks in at 6.8%, you would barely feel the taste of alcohol. All in all, expect a grainy taste.

Feel: The beer feels warm because of the high ABV. Yet, it is a little juicy and refreshing. The finish is pretty smooth in that the flavour disappears more or less. There is no astringency nor harshness. The aftertaste has a small alcoholic warmth.

Overall: Although there is room for improvement, this beer's flavour and mouthfeel brilliantly walks the fine line between being refreshing and hoppy at the same time.

Pours to give a crystal clear tawny-cognac body with a large head reminiscent of sea foam. The scent consists largely of sweet fruits and raisins with a large dose of caramel, making my sweet tooth ache already. The taste is again rather sweet, though in more of a dull sense even when compared to raisins. No malt is detectable on the tongue though there is a prominent noble hop taste, which is still overshadowed by the sweetness. The feel is very smooth, with mild carbonation. Overall its pretty good, though I'm not sure the style is for me.
