🌍 Germany · Festbier · One of 42 Festbiers in hopIQ

Kaiserdom's Festbier is a seasonal lager released for the Oktoberfest season. It pours a clear golden colour. The nose shows honey and caramel over grainy malt, with a hint of candy sweetness. The body is full and the malt sweetness rounded, while a discreet, well-timed hop bitterness with a light spicy note keeps it from turning cloying and leaves a clean, easy finish.
