Schnaitl Festbock
Biscuit and grain on the nose, lightly fruity; on the palate baked apple and dried fruit, powerful and charming at once. Sweetish and inviting, pleasantly lively, with a strong finish that is harmonious in sweetness and bitterness, where fruitiness and malt aromas linger. The Festbock is brewed every year in early July; pilsner, Munich and caramel malt and Mühlviertel aroma hops mature for three months to a deep amber colour and a fine hop aroma.
