“Detmolder Festbier“ der Brauerei Strate, Bügelverschlußflasche von BierSelect.de. Ein Festbier mit nur 5 % und - noch schlimmer - bloß 11° Plato - da hat ja so manches süddeutsche Pilsener schon mehr Körper. - Rotgold, klar. - In der Nase mattes, mild karamelliges Malz und scheue herb-fruchtige Noten. - Antrunk schlank karamelmalzig und trocken mit Orangenschale und krautiger Herbe. Durchschnittlich rezent, für ein Festbier eher dünn, kaum malzsüß. Im Abgang trocken mit nicht zu knapper, leicht ruppiger krautiger Hopfenherbe. - Wie befürchtet eher dünn, auch ein wenig unrund aber doch ordentlich gehopft. Gut trinkbar.

330ml bottle. Barely clear, yellow-ish golden colou rwith average, thick, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, grainy, malty aroma, a bready touch, cautious hints of husk and protein. Taste is minimally sweet, husky, slightly grainy, malty, minimally fruity, hints of protein, a touch of apricot. Smooth and soft palate. This is the kind of beer arousing the question: Can't they do better or don't they dare to do so since they have the low-brow consumer at the back of their mind?
