Beers similar to Maibock

Maibock·Canada·6.8% ABV·One of 36 Maibocks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Maibock's honey and malty character. A strong pale lager in the Bavarian spring tradition, on pilsner and pale malt with Perle and Hallertau. Honey and fresh grain lead, backed by a floral, faintly perfumed hop note and a soft doughy sweetness that the strength carries rather than hides. At 26 IBU the bitterness is there mainly to balance, and the alcohol shows as warmth in the throat. The finish is long, sweetish and clean.
