A golden lager in the style of the beer brewed for D'wiesn, Munich's renowned Oktoberfest celebration traditionally taking place in the weeks leading up to the first Sunday in October. This beer is well balanced with a touch of hop bite over a solid foundation of toasted maltiness. Perfect for pairing with obatzda and a hot, fresh pretzel

As a USA brewed beer here locally it to me rivals any German brewed Festbier that I have tried! Fantastic example.

Pour is a light copper, crystal clear with a nice cap of slightly off white head. good retention
nose is toasted bread, light grassy hops, a hint of caramel
Taste is toasted bread crust, hint of nuttiness
good carbonation.

More a traditional festbier I saw over in Germany, which WASN'T Marzens or Viennas
Pours an effervescent & bright gold with one finger of eggshell colored head. Average head retention & lacing
S: Breadysness, grainyness & some grassy notes
T: Grassy, bready/grainy with just a little lemons & some mineral hop notes up front. Some floral hop notes break through the grainyness & breadyness, plus some lemon as this warms, a little dryness too. Finishes dry, grassy with sweet grainy & bready notes
MF: Medium body, grainy, medium carbonation
Fairly tasty, just doesn't quite have that next level drinkability that one looks for in a festbier
