It was a long, long time ago, that the Hofbräu Maibock was brewed for the first time: In 1614 the bottom-fermented beer specialty filled beer steins for the first time. Even today, Munich's oldest bock beer is still as popular as ever with its full-bodied, malty flavor. The relatively high alcohol content of 7.2% Vol. doesn’t do things half-way – and satisfies, especially honest beer connoisseurs.

On tap at Chinese Tower Biergarten in English Garden in Munich. Sold as Hofbrauhaus Urbock. Clear amber orange pour topped by a foamy beige head that largely dissipated by the time I returned to our table by the tower. Bready malt aroma hints at caramel. Sweet malt flavor has notes of dark honey, toffee and warming alcohol. Light spicy hop finish. Delicious.

Beautiful orange color. Heavy malty apricot aroma. Sweetish flavor with some hopbitterness. Very fruity (apricot and blackcurrant). Some alcohol, that is overpowered by the heavy maltiness. Lovely maibock, one of the better of its kind.

Bottle. Very nice clear amber/copper with a beautiful white head. Aroma of malts and earthy, herbal hops. Taste is malts, caramel, grains and honey. Earthy, grainy, sweet and bitter. Medium carbonation. Very well.
