Draught @ the brewpub. Pours clear golden with stable off-white head. Clear aroma of malt, with notes of yeast and estery touches. Sweet flavour of malt and yeast, with bitter, hoppy notes and bready touches. Malty and hoppy aftertaste with bitter touches. A very nice beer for the style and quite enjoyable as such, too.

On tap @Hausbrauerei Altstadthof (Nuremberg). Ambrata, intensa, schiuma bianco-sporca media, discretamente persistente. Al naso note di malto, caramello, pane, miele, note erbacee e leggermente floreali. In bocca è dolce all'attacco, rotonda, con finale amaro caratterizzante. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Molto buona.

Bottle. Hazy amber color with creamy eggshell head. Aroma is bready, grassy, fresh green-citrusy, a touch peas. Taste is fresh hoppy, bready, cereals, caramel, a touch peas. A touch booze in the back. Velvety mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Good, but due to the vegetal flavours definitely not the top German Maibock for me. After a couple of minutes, this beer loses the pea flavours and becomes a very well hopped Bock.
