On tap into a pint glass at the Boca Raton location, listed as "CityFest".
A: A sparkling clear light copper colored brew with a thin white head that remains for most of the session.
S: Citrus and hops dominate with a some malts.
T: Same as the nose; citrus, hops and some malt on the palate. Hops finish the beer and remain in the aftertaste. I didn't pick any alcohol up on this one.
M: A light crisp beer with moderate carbonation.
D: A good beer for hot Florida summers. The bitterness works as a quencher and the low ABV makes this appropriate for sessions.

Tasted on-tap at the BrewZZi Brewpub in Boca Raton, FL on 07/25/06 and 07/26/06.
Clear lighter gold color with a low white head. Nice light nutty and light Munich malt aromas and flavors. Balanced well and not sweet with no hop character really noticeable. Light bodied, clean, and refreshing.
A bit on the light side for the style and more in line with how many of the Festbiers are going since the mass commercialization of O-fest.
Per BrewZZi website: Munich and Crystal malts. 4.0% ABV.

This place has two locations, and it is my understanding that in Boca Raton, they call this Boca Fest, but in Palm Beach at Cityplace, they call it City Fest. This was delivered to me with an orange/copper body, with little head remaining. There is a malty sweet, slightly citrusy nose with some good maltyness. The taste is pretty starightforward, a decent lager that is crisp and well balanced and very drinkable.

Sampled at the West Palm Beach location
Menu: A smooth, mellow tasting festbier with orange-copper hues, and a sweet nutty aroma derived from an exceptional balance of Munich and Crystal malts. What the hell is a festbier? Oh well, poured a great dark copper with a white head. Aroma was hoppy and lite citrus, little malt. Taste was perfect pale ale, although a little thin, but a good lite hop finish. Lov to have several more sometime.

Slightly foggy amber dim pour with standard antique white thin wafer cap. Good lattice stratus lace.
Husky malty grain aroma.
First swigs: Wheatena breakfast cereal. Maple sugar syrup sugary, lingering cotton ball like aftertaste. Apple skin cidery.
Impressive mouthfeel, slightly light on carbonation and medium feel.

Amber gold. Thin but not watery mouthfeel, and fresh. Bit of yeasty aroma. Fruit and smoke flavour, with some bitterness and dry finish. Malty and drinkable. Not their best, but crafted and decent with food. I would have again but wouldn't seek it out.

Dark orange to copper in color. Thin wispy beige head. Smell was malty sweet, right on for the style. Taste was a sweet crisp marzen. Lots of Crystal Malt smoothness. Slighly better feel on this one. Sweet malt and a sudden snap of bitterness make for a nice finish, this one you want to drink more of.
This would be my first selection when I go back.
