Gordon Biersch FestBier celebrates fall and the flavor profile of beers served at the modern-day Oktoberfest. FestBier emphasizes rich, malty undertones with a moderately hoppy finish. The maltiness is created via a combination of dark-roasted, Munich-style malt and Pilsner malt. The hoppy aroma is achieved via the imported Hallertau aroma hops.

Enjoying a pint at the Glendale, AZ location today 9.27.2018 for $5.25.
Beer was served golden with a solid white head.
Nose is grainy and bready.
Taste follows the nose, bready with some cracker finishing with a spicy noble hop tingling.
Mouthfeel is crisp, clean, and refreshing.
Overall an enjoyable fest lager.

Yellow beer, half inch of white head that gets the F outta dodge pretty quick. Mild, underplayed aromas, almost nothing beyond grain, mildly toasted. Mild Mild Mild. I need another adjective. Now I have that adjective song from Mr. T Experience stuck in my head.
Its an easy going beer with slightly more, toastier malt than BMC, the wheat giving it a craft edge so you can put a slice of ___ citrus fruit in your glass. Has a place in the world.

On tap at the Atlanta brewpub. Served colder than ideal temperature.
Look: amber body with excellent clarity and a creamy bone head.
Aroma: mild mix of malts and hops, with a hint of citrus.
Flavor: follows the aroma. Clean but a bit mild.
Mouthfeel: light-medium body and medium carbonation. Nicely smooth.
Overall: clean, refreshing, easy drinking,
