Götterfunken

Tap to rate

Götterfunken is a Festbier whose name plays on the line "Freude, schöner Götterfunken". The fine-pored head glints, and slightly sweet malt notes show in the main sip and again in the finish, and the beer stays light-footed on the palate while keeping its aromatic strength. 5.6% ABV, 13.15 °P original gravity and 23 IBU.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and approachable, with a slightly sweet malt character that sits comfortably on the palate without heaviness. The mid-palate maintains this gentle sweetness while restrained bitterness—23 IBU—provides modest counterpoint without dominating. The beer remains light-footed and smooth throughout, allowing each element to breathe rather than compete.
