Hummel Festbier Hell

Brauerei Hummel
Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Festbier · One of 26 Festbiers in hopIQ

A strong golden festival lager brewed in the pilsner manner from about 13.8 °P original gravity. It leans towards the hops rather than the malt: the brewery calls it bitter and hop-forward. A firm base of bready, lightly honeyed pale malt carries spicy, herbal Hallertau notes and a dry, lingering bitterness. The extra strength shows as a fuller body and a faint warming sweetness.
