Goldhalle is the brewery's seasonal festbier, a golden, bottom-fermented lager released for the Oktoberfest period. Cereal and bread crust define the flavour, carried by a full, enveloping body. The recipe uses only water, barley malt, hops and yeast. The name joins the colour of the beer with the German word for a hall.
