Prost! Our take on Bavarian lager brewed for Oktoberfest, this beer suavely balances grainy malt sweetness and delicate German Tettnang hop bitterness.
Drink it like you were born wearing lederhosen.

Pours a thin foam head. Dark medium golden color. Beer smells malty. The taste is a little sweet hinting itself with caramel or burnt sugar. Decent amount of hop bitterness. It's not as pronounced in depth as some of these Festbiers but I still think it's pretty good and a fan of these beers should enjoy this one. This flavor reminds me that the leaves are turning and that the sun is going to be down at 5 PM again very soon.
Pumpkin/Squash, beans, nuts, soups, stews, sweet potatoes and of course beer.
Welcome to the beginning of November.

I bought a 12 mixed pack from the brewery.
Festbier 473ml at 5.8%.
Poured a 1 finger head into glass medium bitterness level clear good carbonation.
Bavarian malty lager
Smooth and little spice at the end
Overall a good beer maybe brewed ounce every year .
Cheers
