Festbier·Germany·5.8% ABV·One of 158 Festbiers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Spezialbier Edel's malty and full-bodied character. Brewed after the Bavarian festival beers once poured in the tents: deep gold, full-bodied and built on 13.3 degrees Plato. Toasted malt gives biscuit, fresh bread and a honeyed sweetness, joined by orchard notes of apple and pear and a floral hop aroma from Spalter Select. With the bitterness held to 18 IBU the malt carries a long, soft finish that stays sweet rather than drying.
