2014 International Green Week in Berlin: in 2012 I had this breweries Pilsner and Dunkel, this year I had another Pilsner and tried their Festbier too. Draught 0.3 litres. Thought it might be a Marzen but it was lighter and wasn’t strong enough in alcohol or flavour as that style: still enjoyed it though, just don’t see it as a Fest Bier. Golden Pilsner in looks, usual fading white crown on a bright and clean body. Floral and slight grain nose with a semi-sweet feel to the taste before a dry bitter finish ends each sip. Just a little more to it that a basic Pilsner, but not much and by drinking it side by side with the breweries Pilsner I could pick up only very slight differences.

[Thanks to kevnic2008]. Bottle. Golden colour with a white head with good lasting and nice lacework. Aroma has notes of hay and grass with hints of cereal. Flavor is slightly hoppy, grassy with medium maltiness. The final is very slightly sweet and mild bittery.

330ml bottle. Clear amber colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, white head. Minimally spicy caramel malt aroma with a touch of hay. Taste is minimally sweet caramel malty with a spicy touch of hay, dry, slightly grassy hoppy overtones. Not too bad and definitely more a Märzen than a Dortmunder.

Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Starts milder than exspected, malty-spicy, not very dry. More and more grasy with mild sourish notes. Finish well balanced. Too mild for a festbier, but still not bad.

Draught at BBF12. Mild malty aroma. Clear grey amber colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is OK malty, quite mild, but not bad. Aniseed feel.

Herb-getreidiger Antrunk. Die im Antrunk vorhandene Aromenmischung gibt auch den weiteren Verlauf vor, getreidig, die Herbe schwächelt etwas. So wird das Bier nach und nach immer schwächer und bietet zum Ende nur noch leichte Getreidenoten, die für meinen Geschmack zu schwach sind. 11/8/9/8/9/8
