Spaten Maibock

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

It pours a clear amber with a thick, fine-bubbled white head. Aroma is strongly malty and has a fruity hint. Flavor is rich and malty and has a good zing to it - not complex, but tasty and enjoyable. Texture is smooth and pleasant. A nice spring ale.

The aroma is nice with some maltiness represented with maybe some sweet honey as well and also embellishes some grassy or hay aromas with maybe some ever so slight citrus notes that lurk below the honey. The appearance is a nice golden yellow with a head on top that has decent head retention but diminishes overtime to a light lacing that is white in color and leaves moderate lacing. The mouthfeel is light to medium-bodied with some nice grassy complexity with some solid malty balance with a palate that is a bit dry if not slippery. The flavor is malty and a bit sweet with some honey coming through and I am still detecting some citrus notes with an aftertaste that is dry and malty with a finish that is rather smooth but could be a bit smoother. Overall, not a bad mai bock here and offers some nice and fresh overtones and the alcohol is not too terribly noticed except when it comes to the mouthfeel and the finish and they are a bit oily. I like this brew for sure but I am not convinced I would want to drink many in one sitting; good stuff here.

Nice head on the golden yellow in appearance draft I tried at Taco Mac. Initially thought it was a light tasring beer somewhat sweet in flavor, but could later tell this was a very able-bodied beer. Would defintely drink it again.

On draught at the Brick Store in a really cool 1/2 liter curved mug with the Maibock logo. Really nice glass. Rich golden body, good creamy head. The aroma is lightly hopped. Slightly honey-like maltiness. The beer menu at the Brick Store had this listed at 9%, but I really find that hard to believe. Pretty easy drinking, a bit on the hefty side for the body for a lager, but fairly tasty. Not a bad ber.

Poured a golden color with a nice fluffy head and left solid lacing. Aroma was very malty and yeasty. Flavor was much the same little bready. Solid beer.
