Utopian Smoked Maibock (440ml) NV

Undefined British Region

What a find! A Maibock, the strong German Pale lager that's released in May every year in Germany, but with the Bamberg smoked twist! Nutty, bready, strong, complex, intense and moreish. We dare you to find a better BBQ beer than this.

Maibocks (also known as Helles Bocks) have a wonderful place in the seasonal drinking calendar. As the German Beer Institute explains, the Maibock, which is a lager, has a “warm golden hue” but is “more aggressively hopped than other bocks” making it the perfect transitional brew between seasons. It retains a bit higher ABV, “but its brightness and bitterness already foretell the perpetually blue skies of summer.” Here is a great example – with a classic Bamberg smoked note and a BBQ-ready twist.
