Sep 28, 2008 Bottled@gnoff (as Festival 2007, thanks to whoever gave this to me in Denmark). Deep brownish amber colour with mediumsized fluffy beige head. Aroma is caramel malts, alcohol and very sweet hops. Some mild notes of alcohol too. Flavour is yeasty, rubbery fruits, some sour wood, wheat and mild spices. Alcohol gives a slight burning touch too.

<i>Labeled Festival 2007</i><br />
Poured in a Weizen, a nutty brown liquid with a fizzy off white head that soon leaves. Aroma is very much caramel and a little roaste. Rather lively mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, lots of caramel, but with a good background of hops and roasted malts. Not much of a hefe.
