We’ve partnered with Mahrs Bräu, one of Germany’s most highly regarded brewers, to create a golden-hued festival beer right here in the USA. Using traditional techniques, heritage German barley, and the Record hop varietal - a nearly forgotten German-grown hop - we’ve created the most authentic take on the style this side of the Atlantic.

12 ounce bottle from Uptown. I guess this is a year old. Pours a clear orange hue with a medium white head. Sweet bready floral nose. Sweet, husky, berries, some toast. Solid.

Good but not as good as the 2015 take. Golden, toasted malts, semisweet, lightly grainy. Milder hopping, but balanced and has a nice bit of spicy-hop (pepper) to it.

Pale orange golden with a nice white head. A nice lightly spicy hop profile over a toasted malt backbone. Medium bodied. Finish has a nice hop bite. An enjoyable fest beer that I’d enjoy many liter steins of.

12 ounce bottle, 8/10/16. Clear golden, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of toasted malt and a little lemony citrus. The taste is toasted malt, caramel, lemony hops and a tiny bit of earth. Medium bodied, well balanced, crisp. Nice.

Bottle at my uncle’s house in Lander, WY. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow appearance with a big, rocky, off-white head. Aroma has herbal notes, toasted cracker, some slightly spicy hops, and straw. Medium light body. Off dry. Nice carbonation. Delicious and clean flavor despite being a couple of months old. Lightly sweet, cracker, lightly toasted barley, and a bit of hop spiciness. This is excellent and frankly, it’s on another level than most German-inspired American brews. I hope I’m not disappointed when I buy a case of this back in Foco.
