Our Helles style Festbier is everything we love about Oktoberfest without the lederhosen. Brewed in the traditional Bavarian style using a double decoction mash to develop depth of flavour and body. Fermented slow and cold, and lagered for six weeks, ensuring a clean, soft mouthfeel, which is full flavoured and beautifully balanced.

440ml can, 2025 version, appears to be identical to 2024 with no recipe change this time.
Clear pale golden with a white head. Aroma of bready malts, straw. Taste of pale and bready malts, grains, a bit of straw and grass, light sweet with a drying bitterness to finish. Medium bodied. A very nice Helles.
