0.75 l bottle from 'Bergmann Stehbierhalle', 2013 vintage at 6.9% abv, best before August 2023. Almost clear, orangeish amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, intensely fruity, slightly resiny and minimally soapy aroma of orange jam, mango, some pine and a touch of honey. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, rather fruity, gently floral and slightly resiny taste of orange jam, caramel, honey, grapefruit and some pine, followed by a short, gently bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nicely hoppy Maibock, fits perfectly into spring.
