This collab is 20 years in the making, back when our brewmasters were classmates in Berlin. Today, Kehrwieder is turning German craft beer on its head — just like we did stateside — and our mutual passion is fused in this Festbier that’s bright like polished copper, rich with biscuity malt, and balanced by a punchy blend of German and American hops.

herbal hops, bready malts with a touch of tangerines. Firm bitterness, and solid malt backbone, medium to full body. Firm carbonation. Excellent herbal hop character. This is a very well made. Slightly sticky, not as clean as I might have wanted but l malt and hop character are super on point

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, some nectary, mild sweet bready tones with some slight toffee as well. Flavour is sweet malts, some lemongrassy, herbal and mild aloe vera tones. Kind of modernized take on an Oktoberfest beer...
