Fyne Oktoberfest

Tap to rate

Fyne Oktoberfest is softly sweet and gently toasty, with light floral notes and a hint of mandarin. Tettnanger and Hersbrucker meet Mandarina Bavaria over Vienna and caramel malts, with some cherrywood-smoked malt in the grist. Brewer Yvonne Wernlein, a third-generation German brewer, made it as a tribute to the cask beers of Franconia, unfiltered and naturally settled, at 5.5% from 2025.
