Commercial Description:
A full rich bodied, hoppy, seasonal lager. Especially brewed for the Festbier season. This beer truly represents the Bavarian way of celebrating. Deep gold color, great mouthfeel and lots of flavor. Prost!

A yellow beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with a dusty hop note, on a very clean malty back ground. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of grain, leading to a dry hoppy and rather bitter end. The hops sticks around on the palate. A very clean beer, that can be drunk in large quantities.

Bottle, 5.8% at KØ07. Bready aroma. Pale yellow colour, very small white head. The flavour is quite thin, some bread. Disappointing.

Bottled. Yellowish golden colour with mediumsized fluffy white head. Leaves some lace. Aroma is sweet malts along with some grassy hops, also mild notes of some breadyness. Flavour is quite much the same along with some a-bit-sappy-sweet-notes.
