Benediktiner Weissbräu

Festbier·Germany·5.8% ABV·One of 137 Festbiers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Benediktiner Festbier's malty and full-bodied character. A golden Festbier with a malty aroma: grain, honey and ripe native fruit on the nose. The full body carries ripe grain, late-summer honey and a delicate hop bouquet, rounded off by a soft bitterness and a fruity, spicy aftertaste that fades with fine perlage. Bottom-fermented at 5.8%, brewed in Lich to the original Benedictine recipe using Ettal cellar yeast.
