🌍 Germany · Festbier · One of 26 Festbiers in hopIQ

The Festbier is the brewery's winter beer and is sold for only a few weeks each season. The brewery describes this bottom-fermented lager as pale to amber, malty and full-bodied. Bready malt with notes of toasted crust and light caramel shapes both nose and palate, backed by a rounded, slightly sweet body. At 5.4% it is stronger than the everyday beers of the house, and a mild, herbal hop bitterness keeps the sweetness in balance.
