Unser Gessner Original Festbier leuchtet, versehen mit einer Krone aus feinporigem, leicht beigem Schaum, kräftig bronzefarben im Glas. Ein angenehmes Aroma von gerösteten Nüssen und Karamell leitet über in den weichen Antrunk des erfrischenden Festbiers. Ein schmeichelnder, aber voller Malzkörper mit leichter Süße endet in Einklang mit perfekt eingebetteten, zurückhaltenden Hopfenaromen in klaren Noten von Waldhonig. Ein wahrhaft festlicher Genuss!

Bottle, thanks kappldav. Amber, creamy off-white head. Sweet fruity nose. Caramel, light spicy entry, looses it a bit on the centerpiece, a hint aromatic hops in the finish. Fine wellagered mouthfeel. Quick finish.

Bottle. A clear, golden beer with a white head. The aroma is a nice blend of pale malt and fruity hops, but kind of boring. The flavor is of the fruity kind, low on bitterness and maltyness. Medium body. Even though it’s quite boring, it’s a quaffable, fruity beer, easy to drink, but as said, boring. (080216)

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Fine aroma, fine foam. Tastes modest malty, spicy, the finish a little bit sourish. Nevertheless very drinkable and good beer!

Medium white coarseish head. Yellow body. Fruity grassy caramelly aroma with papery notes. Dry grassy caramelly taste with rubbery notes. Also fruity. Taste is quite dense. Aftertaste is much the same. Nice. (0.5l bottle.)

Bottle, 5.4%. Clear shiny golden colour. Small unstable white head. Not much aroma. The flavour is berady, even though the beer is not too old. Has a little malt, but mostly bread and a little citrus. Low to medium bitterness, the finish is actually slightly watery. High carbonation. Disappointing.

Bottle: Golden coloured, small, quite stable ( + lacing) white head, sweet grainy-honeyish aroma, a bit papery, too; moderate sweet, slightly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; sweet-bitter finish. A rather monotonous brew....
