A yellow beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of both straw and malt, while the flavor is plainly sweet malty, leading to an alcoholic ind. A very simple bock - too simple for my liking.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear pilsener golden with a white head. Hoppy aroma. Medium-bodied and malty with both a solid bitterness and alcohol in the finish. Rather classical Maibock. 250606

Sampled from bottle. This one always shows up when our homebrew club has Pilners as style of the month. This one does have some distinguishing characteristics: Light in color and taste, but very dry in finish. Flavor profile reminded me more of a Dutch lager (and it is brewed pretty close to there). Hoppy bitterness all right. A good beer to have with your meal.

Bottle from MoritzF
It has the Jever hop aroma allright, under that there is a far more fat malt smell than in the regular pilsner. Amber, fine pearling carbonation, low head. Chewy malt body, alcohol detectable, offset by dry bittering hops. Ramps down pretty quickly, bitter finish with a bit less staying power than with the pils.

Can. Ordinary pilsener. Creamy white good mostly deminishing head. Week to no aroma. Moderate sweet flavor. Short finish. Watery palate. Nothing to go for here! Very carbonated.

Bottle at Wacken in Germany druring Wacken Open Air in 2005.Light yellow color, nice white head. Clean malty scent. Low bitterness compared to the "original" stronger brew. Fresh clean taste. For a non alcohol beer this is well worth drinking.

First ratingRating added 4/13/2006Sample at a beer tasting event at "Pannrummet" in Gothenburg, Sweden.Light yellow color. Malty scent. High bitterness, malty a bit hoppy taste. A German classic by all means. The low score is only because of my recent lack of appreciating light lagers, this is well made and a classic, but just not right for me.5/2/5/3/11=2.6RerateDraught at 3 små rum, Göteborg, on May 23, 2017.I’ve had this several times since 2006, but seems I never took the time to rerate it. Granted I tend to drink some other lagers way more often than this, but here goes.Clear straw yellow to pale golden color, white head. Malty, sweet, slight buttery taste. Grainy, buttery, slight metallic aftertaste. Malty, slight sulphury scent.Still a classic for sure, I like it/enjoy it better/morethan back in 2006 at least, but there are many other pilsner/lager I’d chose if having a variety in front of me.6/4/7/3/13=3.3

Bottle. Eh, okay. Bitter. Okay, but the bitterness is strong. Hoppy. Slightly smooth, but not a very smooth finish.

Bottle: Deep golden coloured, small creamy head; sweet-malty and somewhat fruity aroma (bitter almonds !), traces of herbal hoppiness; distinctive bitter and sweet flavour, medium bodied, a bit oily; lingering bitter-sweet finish, almonds again. A well made, hearty Bock............

Bottle. CO2 aroma with some rough hoppiness to it. Dark golden colour, big unstable white head. Very peppery, alcoholic flavour. Rough bitterness in aftertaste. The mouthfeel is a bit thick. This is a Maibock with European Strong Lager tendencies.
