Altenmünster Maibock
Allgäuer Brauhaus AG

Had back in the spring, much less dark than other Maibocks I've had. Very enjoyable.

Pours quite a bit darker than the average Helles, but still not quife amber. Dark yellow I guess. Big, sweet malt on the nose. Honey, straw. Can't discern any alcohol on the nose. Bright, sweet, malty flavour, not the liquid bread of a Bavarian Helles, but its own thing. Noticeable but not unpleasant ethanol presence, slight warming. A bit of vague hops on the finish, some earth and spice. The flavour is dominated by the sweet malt and ethanol though. It's easy enough to drink, though the ethanol does make you slow down and give it some respect. Not a guzzler. In fact the ethanol presence is a little stronger than I personally like, but as I said not too obtrusive. Overall fairly enjoyable.

 

 

From the bottle, it pours a golden amber with a modest head, quickly reducing to a thin layer. Grassy in the nose. The mouth gets the tingle of the carbonation, followed by the bready malt. Easy to drink.

This was a real surprise.A very good Maibock

Nice maibock, very bread-y in taste, malty in aroma. Clear golden in color with light airy head.Just enough of a snap in taste, with little lingering on the palate. Very drinkable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A very tasty bockbeer. Spring-top opens with a loud pop. It is not too strong for a bock but it leaves an intense, thick lingering sweet honey-like taste. The hops is very subtle and it is not very bitter at all.

Excellent choice for a rather slow drinking experience.

 

 

A-Pours a hazy orange color with yeasty looking sediment suspended in the beer with a two and a half finger white head into my masskrug.

S-Smells of sweet and flowery, honey-like malt notes with a bit of spice.

T-Flowery, honey and grainy malt notes with a bitter and slightly medicinal finish.

M-Medium to full-bodied and pretty slick with low carbonation.

D-The mouthfeel plays against the drinkability of this one, but it's overall a pretty n.ice beer. The flowery notes are something I'm not terribly used to, but it's an interesting enough departure from what I usually drink

I bought this for the fantastic 2L swing top growler. $15 bucks, is like the beer is free. The beer is golden with floating sediment. Good head that dissipates to a white dusting. Good lacing. Smells like husky grain, as a good German beer should, but with an added liquorish/clove note. Harvest candy. The taste is husk grain with a sweetness and perfect bitterness. The alcohol is invisible. The carbonation is exquisite. Very soft and pillowy mouth feel. I am finding myself chugging this down...and may find myself on a pillowy cloud if I try and finish the 2L. Das good! 1516 in the house.
