Landskron Maibock

Tap to rate

A seasonal pale bock: floral malt aromas play against fresh fruit that recalls apricot and fig. Softly sparkling on the palate, with a full but unobtrusive malt body, a very discreet, fine hop bitterness alongside a light honey sweetness, and a long malty finish. 6.3 % ABV at 16.5 % original gravity, shimmering red-gold with orange reflections. Bottom-fermented, from the Görlitz brewery on the Neisse; available seasonally.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is smooth and full-bodied, with malt-forward structure that unfolds gradually without heaviness. Fruity undertones of apricot and subtle caramel sweetness develop through the mid-palate, supported by a fine, very soft hop bitterness that never dominates. The malt body remains unobtrusive despite its presence, allowing the delicate interplay of fruit and honey to take precedence.

◑ Finish

A long, clean malty aftertaste that gradually fades without residual harshness or excessive sweetness. The finish maintains the beer's balanced character, with subtle honey and stone fruit notes lingering pleasantly.
