Gutmann Festbier

Gutmann lands with immediate caramel and bread crust, the kind of malt depth that feels intentional and generous. There's a subtle spice note—maybe a touch of noble hop character—but it's really about the body, which sits full and slightly viscous on the tongue. The finish has this lingering sweetness that makes you want another sip before it fades.

Hütt Festbier

Hütt strikes a different balance: cleaner malt profile, almost crisp for a Märzen. The grain character is there—toasted bread, light honey—but it doesn't accumulate into heaviness. The carbonation is snappier, which pushes the beer forward rather than letting it settle. Finishes dry enough to refresh, with just a whisper of sweetness trailing off.
