Beers similar to Mönchshof Maibock

Maibock·Germany·6.9% ABV·One of 49 Maibocks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Mönchshof Maibock's full-bodied and caramel character. Mönchshof Maibock is the brand's spring bock, brewed to 16.3 °P and sold only from March to May. Copper to light amber and brilliantly clear, it carries a dense, creamy beige head. The aroma is malt-led, with caramel, bread crust and a touch of dark beet syrup, while the hops stay in the background. On the palate the full body brings rounded malt sweetness, toffee and a fresh note of green apple, framed by a light hop bitterness. The alcohol is noticeable without turning sharp, and the finish is soft and malty.
