Four-pack from Mollie Stone's in Palo Alto. It's a lovely golden color with a thick persistent head in the glass. There's not a lot going in with aroma but it's not bad. Basically the aroma says, "you're about to take a sip of beer", which isn't a bad thing. Taste: here we go, it actually reminds me of malt liquor but not in a bad way. Like this tastes like malt liquor would taste if malt liquor actually tasted good. Slightly medicinal alcohol is the dominant flavor, as it is some high-end (and low-end) vodkas, but that is supported by mild grain notes and piercing, clean hop bitterness reminiscent of Coors but amped up from a whisper to a conversational volume. Mouthfeel is on the thin side but you can feel the carbonation. Again, it reminds of malt liquor but in a good way, so my relatively high overall rating may reflect the nostalgia factor as I had a lot of fun drinking malt liquor in my teens and twenties.

Pours a nearly crystal-clear, honey-gold body capped with multiple fingers of thick, fluffy, white foam; good head retention yields a thin veil of cap, moderate, frothy collar, amd healthy array of soapy, webby lacing strewn along the walls of the glass.
Aroma opens to fresh bread dough kissed with hints of wildflower honey, with a slight prickle of minerality interspersed across wispy florality as sweet dough and a quiet, grassy inflection develops across the bouquet.
Taste brings underlying corn/grain and flaky toast upfront; a spritzy minerality over the mid-palate settles to white toast, while a lingering honeysuckle undertone is more pronounced over the finish.
Mouthfeel shows a medium-light body and a moderate froth of spritzy carbonation, dispersing to a flaky dryness over the mid-palate and proceeding to a choppy yet clean finish.
Initial sweetness holds to a mundane progression, gliding honeyed undertones in contrast to a hesitant breadiness as Festbier textures are tentatively formed.
