Will-Bräu Mai-Bock
Presentation: 0,5litre brown glass bottle. A green & gold neck label states Will-Bru Mai-Bock & Seit 1791. The main label, which is the same lime green & gold color, has the picture of a goats heads in gold, with the words Mai-Bock above it. Quite fancy looking, enough to make me grab it off of the shelf. Appearance: Pours with a decent white expansive head, frothy looking, it laces well. Extremely clear golden body that has Pilsner traits. Looks OK. Nose: Light, and a bit of a let down after a good start. Sweet malts with some light biscuit grain. Taste: Now the real let-down, the sweetish, light roast malt tastes are very much those of an average Pilsner, or worse still, a Euro-Lager. Dont get me wrong, they are not offensive but neither are they memorable. So much so, I have forgotten what they were already. Mouthfeel: Average, at times, some fruitiness, mixed with the sweet malt, almost materializes. Drinkability: Easily downed, this aspect is aided by the thin-to-average body. Overall: Probably a decent thirst quencher in the summer, but I can think of many other better value beers that I would have before this one on a warm day. Is this really a Mai-Bock? It looks & tastes just like a cheap Pilsner to me. Forgetful.
