Arbeiter Broken Bock Maibock

Arbeiter Broken Bock Maibock.

6.9 % ABV, 39 IBU, Arbeiter Brewing, in collaboration with Witch Hunt. 

Clear, bright golden/amber color, slim, soon-gone ivory head. 


In the nose: sweet, malty, clean. Herbal, floral, light on the hops. Classic Maibock, so far.

In the mouth: Beautifully balanced. Sweet malt meets noble hops. Hop bitterness stays long on the palate, but malt keeps the whole thing running. Crisp, smooth, delicious. I'm liking this one a lot. It hits all the marks for the style and sends you straight into Maibock happy land. Yum a dum dum. 

Brocken Bock - The Maibock

Arbeiter’s first collaboration with Witch Hunt Brewing in Minneapolis, we set out to make a super solid, traditional Maibock that will make its mark for fans of the style. Brocken Bock is a decocted, malt-forward German lager using paler Munich and Vienna malts, and has a gorgeous light golden-to-dark-yellow color. This beer is a perfect transition beer for cool spring afternoons and sunny beer hall hangouts...it's the Mai-Bomb!
