Gänstaller Maibock

Gänstaller Maibock is a gorgeous unfiltered golden example of the style. With a creamy lasting head and fruity/hoppy nose, it’s a balanced richly malty Bock. The fruity palate is tinged with hops which aren’t overpowered but dry out the lingering finish is semi-bitter fashion.

Hönig Maibock

Hönig Maibock is an unfiltered amber example of the style. With noble hops, grain and a hint of caramel in the nose, it's an enticing beer. The richly malty palate is fruity and quite dry for the style. The lingering finish is dry and semi-bitter. A wonderful experience to drink it in their lovely Biergarten on a spring day.

Griess Keller Bock

Griess Keller Bock is a hop forward richly malty brew more suited to sipping than a raucous Bockbieranstich. While not a traditional Franconian Bock, it outshines many that safely hide in the confines of the bland Hallerbock one often finds.
