In der Nase würzig, Getreide, optisch trüb. Im Trunk crispy, süß, nicht wirklich ein typisches Festbier, aber dennoch ein ordentliches Lager.

16oz can at Sarah-Janes on 24th July 2023. Clear deep golden body, white crown that fell away too swiftly. Nice malty feel to both the nose and taste, semi-sweet rather than full on; liked it.

Golden amber colour. Sweet malt, touch of caramel. Maybe a bit thin but decent malt character on this. I can dig it.

On tap at the brewery. Pours orange gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is toasted malt and dark fruit. Medium body, biscuit, raisin, nice clean finish, very good.

Marks a clear delineation between Festbier and Marzen, coming across lighter and grainier than its darker cousin, with a corn-tinged sweetness somewhat aggressive for a beer so delicately hopped. The slight, bitter floral streak on the back end provides a modest bit of balance,and nice toasted notes appear as it warms. Gains hints apple and lemon, with a slight caramel note being raised on the fade. Not a bad take on the less-popular Oktoberfest style, but too sweet.

On tap at Eppig. Zesty, big peppery noble hop tones. A little aggressive for the style. Golden and light. Kind of rugged.
