Pours a crystal-clear, deep honey-gold body capped with multiple fingers of fluffy, slightly off-white foam; great head retention leaves a rocky finger of cap, large collar, and generous spattering of soapy, webby/spotty lacing spread around the walls of the glass.

Aroma offers waves of honey into fresh white toast, with a subtle underscore of floral lager yeast easing to a gentle minerality over time.

Taste shows a slightly peppery inflection over notes of white bread upfront as musty honey lingers through nutty malt detailing over the mid-palate and advancing notes of brown bread crusts on the back end of the profile.

Mouthfeel brings a lighter body meeting a full, steady fluff of carbonation, dispersing dry, prickly texturing through a taut mid-palate and leaving a touch of flaky grit on the finish.

Semi-sweetness and a peppery florality prevalent consistently throughout, while this is perhaps lacking in deeper refinement, it remains a clean and thorough representation of the balance and basics of festbier drinkability.
