The origins of Bock beer can be traced back over 600 years to the town of Einbeck, Germany. The great taste and aroma of fresh malt are the main flavor components of this style, but the hops though still in the background, also play an important role by not allowing the malt to completely dominate the palate. These deep golden colored lager beers were made to replace the darker winter brews and the name Maibock refers to the month of May when these spring-time beers make their debut.
