Hummel Maibock

◎ Appearance

A luminous straw yellow with brilliant clarity and fine carbonation that produces a stable, creamy white head with good lacing. The body carries notable depth for its pale color, suggesting substantial malt weight and careful brewing technique. The visual presentation conveys both the lightness of spring and the strength underlying this Maibock.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with generous noble hop character—spicy, herbal, and grassy notes dominate with a crisp, aromatic presence. Beneath the hops lies honeyed pale malt sweetness and fresh bread crust, creating a warm, inviting foundation. The interplay between floral hop oils and soft malt aromatics speaks to the pilsner-influenced brewing approach and restrained but purposeful hop selection.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and malty, with honeyed grain and bread flavors establishing a full, rounded body that fills the mouth completely. Mid-palate delivers a firm, persistent bitterness from the generous hop charge, complemented by spicy and herbal notes that build gradually. The 7% alcohol shows as gentle warmth without harshness, maintaining smooth integration while the bitterness strengthens toward the swallow.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and sustained, with the bitterness lingering pleasantly without becoming harsh or astringent. A faint honeyed sweetness and bread note retreat gracefully, leaving a dry, hoppy aftertaste that invites the next sip.
