Tap at Gentry Plaza State Park from the LIC location. Deeper orange pour with a white head. Nose is sweet bready malts and cheese. Taste is sweet upfront, bread, honey and hay show with just a hint of hops on the palate. It’s all coated in cheese. I love cheese in beer. This one’s got Schlenkerla vibes. I love Schlenkerla too.

Draught @ the LIC location (Oct 2022). Faintly cloudy dark yellow-amber with a foamy off-white head, malt aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter light caramel malt taste, thin body, long malty finish. This was probably the lightest color festbier I've seen. It's not bad, but it does not really feel like a festbier.
