Maibock

Maibocks are medium- to full-bodied lagers whose alcohol content can vary widely, though is typically between 5-6 percent ABV. The color of pale bocks can vary from light bronze to deep amber and they are characterized by a sweet malty palate and subtle hop character. As its name would suggest, this is a bock style that traditionally makes a spring appearance as a celebration of a new brewing season. In a Germanic brewer’s portfolio, it is should conventionally have a less assertive character than other bock offerings later in the year.
