Dithmarscher Maibock

◎ Appearance

Pours a rich golden yellow with excellent clarity and a firm, persistent head that clings to the glass in fine lacing. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a composed presentation befitting a spring seasonal.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with spicy and fruity notes, characteristic of the three hop varieties used in the brew. Beneath the hop character lies a clean Malz foundation from the three-Malz grist, with no off-notes or rough edges—a testament to the brewery's use of particularly soft water.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and malty on entry, with light sweetness and caramel notes from the Malz bill providing immediate richness. The mid-palate reveals ripe fruit character and a balanced body, while a finely bitter hop note emerges in the middle and carries through to the finish, keeping the 6.8% alcohol well concealed.

◑ Finish

The finish is notably long, with the bitter hop note persisting cleanly without harshness or astringency. The alcohol strength remains elegantly hidden, leaving a dry and refreshing aftertaste.

Serve at 12–16°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
