16 oz can purchased at Bottle Boston in Boston, Massachusetts. The pour is a clear pale golden with a fizzy half inch pure white head. The aroma is soft hay, malt grain, soft bread and a hint of lemon citrus. The taste is a clean lager, cracker grain, bread, hay and the whisper of lemon citrus near the finish. The palate is light bodied with active carbonation and finishes with grass, hay and soft sweetness. In the Festbier style, as advertised.

Can at home as I continue the festbier season. Dullish dirty gold and very small filmy head that leaves all too quick. Kind of lifeless looking body. Nose is caramel and florals. Tastes the same of caramel notes, herbs, florals, soap, golden raisins. Little odd finish.

Half liter on draught at the brewery, 9/9/21.
Clear canteloupe-amber with a white head showing medium retention.
Floral/spicy hops in the nose are to-style with toasted malts leading to sourdough and light baked pretezel. Salty/carbonic acid-like minerality and hints of honey add interest.
Soft and malty in the mouth, though not as well-textured and deeply malty as the German/double decocted ones. This feels much less malty, though dry and still quite drinkable. Just more pale ale like and less German lager-malty-like. A bit of soap and carbonic acid on the end leave it a bit vapid, but it's crisp and clean otherwise and drinkable.
