16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden yellow color with a small, white head of foam. It left minimal lacing. It smelled of butterscotch, toffee and sweet caramel. Very sweet lager with a mild bitterness.

Beer recieved in bif 18 from @victory_sabre1973, new brewery for me
Chilled 16 oz can of South German style fest bier
Style per BA , “ Festbier is the modern day "Oktoberfestbier" that's served at the official Oktoberfest in Germany, as governed by the Munich city committee. Traditionally, the majority of the beer served was the dark, rich Märzen lagers that we've all come to love and associate with Oktoberfest, but that hasn't been the case since the 1990s. Now, it's all about Festbier, which is a bright and golden beer that's akin to an export-style (slightly stronger and maltier) Helles lager. Paulaner Brauerei is credited with creating the style back in the mid-1970s. According to many sources, their brewmaster wanted to give the people something "more poundable." Gotta love that.
Drinkers can expect Festbiers to showcase a clean, but strong malty backbone, light hop profile, and incredible drinkability.
And you might see the style referred to as Wiesnbier, Wies'n, or Wiesn. The latter is what locals in Munich call Oktoberfest, based on Theresienwiese, which is the meadow/fairgrounds where it's hosted. This is not to be confused with Weissbier, Weißbier, or Weizenbier (wheat beer).”
Clear golden amber liquid, one finger off white foam cap recedes after 2 minutes to a ring and layer
Aroma is tart, floral
Taste is tart, crisp, apple cider
Slight sudsing, hop nibble on the finish, semi dry
Good beer

From a 16oz can.
Beautiful crystal clear amber pouring beer. A bit of carbonation bubbles rising in the glass. The head is a white and 1 finger. The head is not long lasting at all. No lacing on the glass.
The aroma is a grainy, malty, buttery biscuit. There's a slight floral hint to the aroma.
This beer tastes a lot like the nose. It is a malty beer. Lots of grain/buttery biscuit flavor. Somewhat sweet tasting, almost like a hint of honey in this beer. Somewhat of a floral flavor in this beer.
Very smooth and full body in a small package. The body is almost creamy feeling.
This is damn delicious and a pleasure to drink.
