Beers similar to Festbier

Festbier·Czech Republic·5.5% ABV·One of 158 Festbiers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Festbier's malty and spicy character. Golden and malt-led: the scent shows a moderate maltiness with a light touch of hops, and the taste is dominated by the grain while the hops step in second with gentle herbal and spicy tones. Medium body, medium carbonation, hopped with the Czech variety Harmonie. The brewery first made it for its first anniversary, inspired by the German Festbier style of the Oktoberfest.
