Commercial Description:
This beer was brewed to celebrate the Great Danish Beer Festival. It is a Belgian inspired amber ale which has been conditioned for six months for extra smoothness. The malts are balanced by delicious Czech Saaz hops. Ølfabrikken Festival Reserve is, of course, unpasteurized, unfiltered and bottle conditioned like all of our beers. Introduced on 'Københavnske Øldage 2006'. Only available in 1½ liter champagne bottles.

Bottle @ thewolfs pre-festival tasting, Kolding.
Bought @ Det Lille Ølhus, Ribe.
Pours deep golden with a medium, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has a bit of cellar, some good toffee, yeast and light exotic fruits. Super creamy mouthfeel. Great flavour, caramel, dryness, tripel, saison, barley wine. Feels nice, experimental and still balanced. Great!

(on bottle) Dark orange, white head. Old cellar aromas; some chapions and vanillabeans too. Really smooth mouth, rubs the tounge really firm and good. Heavy malt taste, along with a hint of allspice. Good, warming finish.

Draught at Københavnske Øldage 2006. Unclear amber colour with a weak head. Light aroma of sweet malt and some citrus too. Light hoppy flavour with a sweet malt profile, ends up dry and little hoppy. Very enjoyable.

Bottled. Tasting @ Kolding Bryglaug. Aroma has caramel fruity maltiness and cheesy yeast. Hazy, brown coloured with an offwhite head. Taste is sweetish, yeasty, toffee malty and has nice fruits in it. Medium bodied. Good beer.

Bottle. Hazy orange in colour. A nicely balanced ale, with some sweet caramel, and citric, lightly apricoty hop characters, finish is lightly yeasty, a very pleasant ale.
