Bottle picked up from Craftbeer webshop Parchim and consumed sat at the top of the garden during a gardening day, Saturday 3rd May 2025. Pours clear light amber with a white head that didn't last long. Caramel on the nose and in the mouth, nice carbonation, it's a little fruity. Simple but very pleasant Maibock.

Bottle. Lightly cloudy amber with a decent head. Spicy, almost sour/fruity nose. Taste has some grapefruit-sour beer notes, reminding me of a Flugge. Something weird but tasty happened here (slightly over MHD). Caramel/astringent bitter notes in the background.
