Sternquell Festbier
Sternquell brews its Festbier as a limited release for the Sternquell Wiesn, the brewery's September beer festival in Plauen, and it is also sold through retail. Aroma hops from the Hallertau and a blend of local barley malts at 13.2 degrees Plato go into the brew. The beer is brilliantly clear and golden under a velvety, fine-pored head. Soft notes of bread crust, light caramel and honey lead into a full, rounded body, balanced by a subtle floral hop note and a mild finish.
