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.

Sorry this week’s Tuesday Tasting is kind of small. I am waiting on a beer shipment so had to resort to getting this 500¥-ish Seijo Ishii beer: Hof Brau Maibock 7.2% A bright clear orange with a thick beige head that doesn’t linger so long unfortunately. The aroma is grainy honeyed biscuits and bready light caramel sweetness. Kind of simple but nice enough. Fairly full bodied with malt caramel sweetness upfront with a slick mouthfeel. You then get a bit of herbal hop bitterness before the sweetness returns. A fairly simple maibock but easily available. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Anfang März, mitten in der Fastenzeit, bringt Hofbräu schon den Maibock heraus, der traditionell erst Ende April angestochen wird. Wozu die Eile? - “Hofbräu Maibock“, Flasche (50 cl) von Getränke Hoffmann, Berlin. - Dunkelgoldbraun, klar. - In der Nase schweres toastig-nussiges Malz, feiner hopfenwürziger Hopfen, Zitrusfrucht und Alkohol. - Antrunk kernig toastmalzig mit deutlicher, gut bitterer zitrusfruchtiger Hopfenherbe. Durchschnittlich rezent, für einen Bock überraschend schlank. Erst beim zweiten Schluck wird eine breite, schwere Malzigkeit mit Anklängen an Karamel und Honig und kerniger Malzbittere spürbar. Die krautige, etwas derbe Hopfenherbe bildet das nötige Gegengewicht dazu. - Ordentlicher, kräftig gehopfter Bock, frisch und kernig. Jetzt muß nur noch der Mai kommen ...
