Reutberger Mai Bock

Tap to rate

Fresh like spring yet strong: golden yellow, with a harmonious malt profile and a fine hop note. This bottom-fermented beer is one of the Reutberg seasonal beers, brewed only at certain times of the year, a line-up that runs from the Mai Bock through Josefi to the Weißbier Bock.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a clean, soft malt presence — bread crust and subtle honey notes warm on the palate of the mind. A restrained but noble hop character emerges beneath, offering a herbal, slightly floral accent without aggressiveness. The overall impression is balanced and inviting, free of harsh or overripe notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, malt-forward entry that builds gently through the mid-palate with caramel sweetness and a soft grain richness. The hop bitterness is moderate and integrated, arriving as a dry, herbal counterpoint rather than a sharp edge. At 6.9% ABV, the alcohol sits comfortably in the background, lending warmth without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is of medium length, drying pleasantly as the malt sweetness fades and a light, herbaceous hop note lingers. A gentle warmth remains, appropriate to the strength, without any alcoholic burn or astringency.
