Oettinger Maibock
The Maibock is Oettinger's seasonal spring bock, a bottom-fermented strong beer brewed to 16.2 percent original gravity and 6.8 percent alcohol, traditionally drunk after Lent. Tasters describe a colour between gold and amber and a malty nose. A full malt body, light caramel and a fine sweetness dominate the palate, balanced by restrained hop bitterness that gains a little spice in the finish.
