Festbier
A bottom-fermented seasonal lager brewed for the festival months; each year it is first tapped at the Zwiesel Grenzlandfest in mid-July. It is gently filtered without artificial aids and pours golden under a fine-bubbled head. The brewery describes it as full-bodied and easy-drinking. Its stronger wort, made from pale barley malt alone, points to a rounded palate of soft bread, honey and light malt sweetness, held in check by restrained hop bitterness in a clean finish.
