A festive amber lager brewed with four malts, dutifully hopped with Spalter Select, then traditionally lagered for 6 weeks. Crisp & composed, with an elegant interplay of toasty malts & earthy, floral hops.

Undated can:
Pours more hazy than expected, but there was some chill haze as it seemed clearer by the end of the glass. Iniitially there was a ruddiness to the Arnold Palmer color, more of a lightly hazed one by the end. The head wasn't really too impressive on the pour, but it didn't disappear away at any point.
Nose is more in line with expectations with a mix of earth tones and medium brown bread. There's a little bit of floral hops, though, initially. As the beer warms, some spicy hops come out. Taste has a little melanoidin toasted malt along with a sprinkle of light brown sugar. There a little bit of a citrus vibe up front that has a thread through to the back of the taste, as well. There is an earth note coming in more towards the middle to late part of each swig, one with a very light earthy spice - maybe like nutmeg. It doesn't completely remove the citrus, so it kinda has an aspect of a citrus flavored tea with a hint of spice.
The feel was a tad heavy (it is 6.5% ABV), but the finish was fairly dry. The malts shared the stage with what I perceived as citrus, which was a little out of whack with expectations, but not out of whack with my enjoyment.

4 oz pour at the brewery. This festbier is a little bit on the high side for abv but the aroma and flavors are there to match - toasted bread, caramel, and a hint of nuttiness. Very tasty.
