Binding Brauerei

Festbier·Germany·6% ABV·One of 144 Festbiers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Binding Festbier's malty and honey character. Binding Festbier is brewed every year to an unchanged house recipe for the Frankfurt Oktoberfest, where it flows on draught from September into early October. After an extended cold lagering it shows an amber colour and a fine white head. The brewers describe it as spicy and malt-forward with a light roasted accent; tasters also pick up honeyed grain, straw and a gentle grassy hop. The body is smooth and moderately full, the bitterness restrained, and the finish short and soft.
