Festbier is the king of Donzoko lineup.
Released once a year, this deep gold lagerbier has a rich malt body, thanks to a long decoction mash of Vienna and Munich malts. A generous helping of Tettnang and Blanc hops give way to a crisp, bitter finish.

On tap at The Rusty Bucket, Eltham. Clear golden orange pour with a white head. White bread, citrus & malt aromas. Similar approach in the flavour. Fruity malty bitter doo dah. Crisp & exceedingly refreshing.

Keg @ Tap and Can. Clear golden amber, white head. Floral notes accompanying a mildly sweet fest profile.. Ok I had this after Spaten's oktoberfest bier but still, I expected a deeper caramel resonance from a Donzoko festbier.

It carries a nice color, head and aroma. Medium bodied. Comes across a bit sharper than a classic of the style though it has plenty of toasted biscuit and moist dough notes as well. It’s rather enjoyable even if it skews a touch hoppy.
