Mahrs Bock Bier

500 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.5%. Clear golden colour, moderate white head. Slightly sweetish but pleasant aroma of light malts and floral and herbal hops, hints of honey and newmown grass. The flavour is slightly sweet, but not too much, distinctly malty, but also with distinct floral and herbal hops, and a bitter finish.

Not sure that a ginger version of this deserves another entry or not, so I'm puttin it on here. Pretty light in body and color, but with a pleasing maltiness that's true to the style, and an aromatic, but not overly agressive, ginger profile.

More Deutschland-Tour for Oktoberfest 2010 - this bock pour a golden color with some cloudiness and a few floaties, with a one-finger tight white head and some lazy lacing. Big sweet floral and malty aroma with some fruitiness strangely not unlike a Belgian Ale. Taste is malty and fruity with a nice smoothness. Still a little off for a bock but very drinkable.

Fränken Bierausflug, Day#4, Brewery#18, Beer#39. Vom Faß at the Bamberg brewery, poured a clear golden color with a medium white head. Floral, sweet, alcoholic, malty aromas. Full mouthfeel that slightly thins in the finish. Flavors of sweet toasted malt with significant hop bitterness. Finishes dry. My favorite of the three Mahrs brews I tried during this tasting session here at the brewery tap.

Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is malts, caramel and some spices. Flavour is raisiny alcohol mixed with some spices and bigtime malts. A very pleasant bock!

Probably my best Mahrs experience, and also one of my more liked helles/golden bocks. Poured a rich golden color, some straw haze to it, and some chunks came flying out of the bottle before the bottom (no problem there, though, I like that stuff). The head was very modest, nothing impressive, and I rolled my eyes and wondered why I bothered running Mahrs. Aroma wasn't bad, though, bready, light grass, a touch of honey. The flavor followed the aroma, very nice rich malt base, pils malts apparent, nice honey sweet finish, but not too sweet, far from cloying, a touch of almost a yeast type bitterness, although possibly from the hops. A toasted factor came on mid-bottle with warming temperature. Mouthfeel was dead on, full, but not syrupy thick. A decent showing for a take on the style that I'm not normally a lover.

The beer initially came across farely weak but would grow as it went on. Quite sharp and with a full citruisy flavour on every swig. A cloudy bright orange colour, no much nose. The beer is a decent offering and easily agreeable, but far from anything great. I found it too meek for a bock, it was simply a little sloppy in the features where a good bock should stick out, and as result, came out as nothing more than a strong German style lager.
