Festbier

Tap to rate

Golden and malt-led: the scent shows a moderate maltiness with a light touch of hops, and the taste is dominated by the grain while the hops step in second with gentle herbal and spicy tones. Medium body, medium carbonation, hopped with the Czech variety Harmonie. The brewery first made it for its first anniversary, inspired by the German Festbier style of the Oktoberfest.

Malt dominates the palate, delivering soft grain sweetness and a subtle breadiness that frames the entire experience.
