Our take on a traditional German Festbier, this beer has a full malty backbone, balanced bu a gentle bitterness.
We dryhop this liberally with Traditional German Mittlefruh and Tettnang hops to give a slightly spicy and floral aroma.

440ml can from my mate Gordon, drank at home on 26th September 2025. Clean and clear golden amber body, white crown. Orange like malty front to the taste, some floral notes in the nose, soft brioche undertones, my sweet tooth really liked it

Can from Aldi, Inverurie. It pours clear oily gold with a lasting fluffy white head. The aroma is bread, sponge cake, muffin, some orange marmalade, custard cream biscuits, honeyed grain and cereal. The taste is dry, toasty grains upfront, cereal, oiliness, pithy orange, orange marmalade white bread sandwiches, grass, orange blossom, slightly soapy and some biscuit with a very dry finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Quite like this one. Very drinkable and not lacking in flavour.

Can from Aldi. Clear deep golden body with an off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lightly roasted malt, toasted bread and dried grass. Flavour of nuts, earthy hops and fruit cake. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Light fizz. A nice malty lager.
