Festbier
Medium-high bread dough and a clean, moderately strong malty flavor carry this golden Festbier, which the brewery likens to a heavy-bodied Helles with more hop flavor. German Pilsner, Vienna and Munich malts go through a traditional double decoction, with natural carbonation. Festbier began replacing Export in Germany in the early 1990s; this one has 5.8% ABV and 27 IBU.
