🌍 Germany · Festbier · One of 26 Festbiers in hopIQ

Brewed since 1953 and also known as Wiesn-Edelstoff, this is Augustiner's beer for the Munich Oktoberfest, where the brewery still pours exclusively from wooden casks. It is brewed to at least 13.5 °P and is also sold in retail during the season. An extra-long, cold lagering gives a very soft yet full, rounded body. The golden beer smells of pale malt, grain and bread with a hint of honey and a light floral hop note; the finish rests on a subtle, velvety hop bitterness.
