🌍 Germany · Festbier · One of 5 Festbiers in hopIQ

An unfiltered seasonal brewed over the winter and poured from early March. It pours a hazy pale straw to gold with fine suspended particles and a generous creamy white head. The nose is grainy and malty with a yeast-blossom note, straw and hay behind it and a trace of vanilla. The palate opens soft and gently sweet, honey and caramel meeting mandarin and a mild fruitiness, and a herbal bitterness arrives late. The body is slim, the carbonation fresh. Brewed at 12.8 degrees Plato.

Aroma

The nose opens with soft, grainy maltiness and a distinct yeast-blossom character. Behind this foundation sit notes of straw and dried hay, grounding the aroma in cereal notes. A subtle trace of vanilla provides gentle sweetness without dominating the profile.

The palate enters soft and gently sweet, with honey and caramel flavors meeting subtle mandarin citrus and mild stone fruit. A herbal bitterness arrives in the mid-palate and carries into the finish, providing structure without harshness. Body is slim and clean, allowing the interplay of sweetness and herbal spice to remain crisp and balanced.
