Die Herbst Weisse

Tap to rate

Earthy roasted notes and a hint of fine fruit define this chestnut-brown Festbier, which is full-bodied, malty and lively with fine carbonation. The brewery makes it every year in strictly limited quantity in honour of the Salzburg Ruperti Kirtag and the patron saint of the state, Saint Rupert: when it is gone, it is gone.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied on entry with pronounced malty sweetness and a clean grain character that fills the mid-palate. Roasted and earthy tones build gradually, complemented by a restrained bitterness (22 IBU) that appears late and lingers without harshness. The beer maintains excellent balance between malt richness and hop restraint, allowing the festive malt character to shine.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length with a lingering malty aftertaste and a faint earthy dryness that encourages another sip. Fine carbonation maintains a crisp sensation through to the end, preventing any heaviness.
