Flötzinger Weihnachtsbier

Tap to rate

Flötzinger Weihnachtsbier is the brewery's festive lager for the Christmas season, brewed with a special malt blend and a balanced hop aroma. It pours clear golden under a creamy white head. The nose shows sweet malt, dough and honey with a touch of herbs; on the palate come cereal, soft caramel and blossom honey over a full, smooth body, and the finish brings grassy, lightly spiced hops with a gentle bitterness.
