The hallmark of a great Festbier is balance, and Hammergeil has that in spades. This golden-hued delight is a beer straight out of Munich.
A rich bready-malt foundation is met by a smooth, full-bodied mouthfeel; delicate floral hop notes from all-German noble hops carefully balance out the Pilsner malt sweetness.
As the weather cools, and the sunlight fades, this is our favorite time of year - and it's best spent while drinking our favorite beer.

Had Hammergeil at Tremont Tavern, Chattanooga, on draft into pint tumbler, and also poured from 12-oz. can, no date, into Seidel.
Pours medium and perhaps a little copper gold, with 1/2-finger off-white head, which soon dissipates to a persistent film, pulling a little splotchy lace down the glass. Aroma of sweet malt and mild Noble hop spice off pour, then mild but sharp stone fruit--peach comes to mind. Begins mildly sweet over moderate carbonation, then mild but sharp fruit, over just a little bready malt presence, before a somewhat crisp, definitely dry finish.
Interesting beer name, for a rather blunt, forward Festbier. Drink a lot of Hammergeils, and everyone is Hammergeil?
