🌍 Germany · Festbier · One of 37 Festbiers in hopIQ

The brewery's festive lager, previously sold as Winterfestbier and in the United States as Organic Winter Spezial. It glows a bright amber with copper tones. Light notes of honey and plums open the aroma, joined by caramel and a hint of red berries. On the palate soft, sweetish toasted malt dominates, with bread crust and caramel carrying through the middle, while a mild hop bitterness keeps the stronger body from turning heavy. The finish is smooth and gently sweet. At 13.4 °Plato original gravity it is the most substantial beer in the brewery's lager range.
