Feldschlößchen Pichmännel-Festbier

Tap to rate

The Pichmännel-Festbier belongs to the brewery's seasonal edition and is sold from late summer into autumn. It is named after the Pichmännel, the brewery's figure recalling the workers who sealed wooden casks with pitch. Brewed in the manner of a Märzen to 6.0 % from 13.8 °P, it owes its smoothness to a long lagering period. Full-bodied and easy to drink, it shows a fine malt sweetness with notes of bread and light caramel, while the hops stay restrained.
