I will agree this is more of a Marzen than the lighter Festbier style, despite the name. It's an orange amber in the goblet with modest foam. Beery aroma with some roasted grain and straw. Some prickles on the tongue and a malty body. Pleasantly caramel tasting but not overly sweet. Just a flicker of hops in the flowery style. All very light in flavor and quite quaffable. From the 32 oz growler filled at the brewpub.

Served in 16oz can glass. Poured a clean, clear light copper color with 3/4 inch of white head that had moderate retention and low lacing.

The aroma was mostly lightly sweet malts, a touch of caramel, and some floral hops.

Pretty similar on the tongue, with the hops a touch more notable.

The body was light, leaning towards medium, smooth, and had a semi-sweet finish.

Drinkability was good, smooth and easily quaffable, one could drink several of these.

Overall, a solid and enjoyable take on the style, worth a shot if you see it.
