Festbier brings the spirit of Germany's Oktoberfest right here to our home in Fauquier County. Toasty and bready malt character from German malt additions dominate the aroma and flavor. This beer is more robust than a Munich helles but more subdued than a traditional Märzen.

From the pint can, it pours a clear golden amber color with a modest white head that soon diminishes to a ring and some lacing. The nose gets a very nice bready malt scent, followed by the mouth getting the same. Eminently drinkable.
