Maibock·Netherlands·7% ABV·One of 32 Maibocks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share PaasIJ's full-bodied and malty character. Fruit and a subtle hint of spice lead the aroma of this dark blonde spring beer, with coriander, yeast and hops alongside. The brewery has brewed PaasIJ every spring since 1989, in smaller batches that are often gone faster than expected, and its yellow labels mean spring has arrived. Licorice and coriander seeds go into the 7% brew.
