hopIQ found 10 beers with the same honey and sweet character as Hofbräuhaus Maibock. Munich's oldest bock beer, first brewed in the Einbeck manner by master brewer Elias Pichler in 1614. This pale, bottom-fermented strong beer is made by decoction from Munich malt and pale barley malt at 16.6 °P, hopped with Herkules, Perle and Select to 31 IBU, and released between mid-February and the end of April. It glows copper in the glass. Forest honey, a cognac-like note and light caramel lead the nose; the palate follows with sweet biscuit, rum-soaked fruit, toasted bread and marzipan, closing velvety and full on a delicate grapefruit bitterness and noticeable warmth. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
