Bottle, thanks to Dortmunder. Honey color, sugary peachy aroma. Sweet, almost sugary flavor. Very light hop character with just a bit of floweriness. Thin to medium bodied. A decent balance, the alcoho, is hardly noticed. Likeable, drinkable, but could have more character.

* Old rating, 0,33l crown-top bottle, best before 8.09 Leicht süßliches, süffiges Bier. Die 6,5% schmeckt man leicht, aber nicht störend. Feinherb im Nachgeschmack, süßlich ausgewogen.

Mild süß-herber Antrunk, der vorhandene würzige Ton ist relativ mild. Im Mittelteil etwas intensiver, der Alkohol lässt sich bei solch einem milden Bier nicht verbergen. Nun wenig getreidig, insgesamt sehr mild, süßlich-malzig im Abgang. Hier leicht bitter. Ein mildes Bockbier, dass erst im Abgang sortentypisch wirkt. Test vom 1.10.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,8,9,8,8,8 - 8,45

Very clear beer, colour of old gold, virtually no carbonation visible; very discreet white head. Very dry grainy nose, and a bit of solvent, caramel and honey-covered toast. Taste features again this honey&toast, but now much more marked. It is very sweet, but at the same time the opposite of cloying. Again grainy - warm, hot summergrain fields. I like this. Tastes also slightly oxydized - BBd is only 1 month overdraft. Ends drier - joss’ herbal counterpoint. Medium bodied, alcoholwarming and -thinning. Usually I’m all for the Doppelbocks, thinking of the Maibocks as their lesser brethren. This is one happy "Ausnahme". Thanks to whomever gave it to me - Robert?

Dark golden, low creamy head. Quite nice aromatic hop aroma with some sugary sweetness in the background. Sweeet malt base with a herbal counterpoint and some light ethanol burn. Solid oily mouthfeel, still sparkly though. Thanks to Dortmunder for the bottle.

(Bottle 33 cl) Fully golden with a very limited head. Fullbodied, high both in sweetness and hoppiness. Very solid and not that refined. Typical light Bock. 310105
