Tap(@Dampfe): Deep golden, hazy, medium-sized lacy off-white head, sweetish-grainy and caramelly nose with a metallic/mineralic tinge; light to moderate dryish bitter-sweet flavour, almost medium bodied and a bit sticky; dryish malty-bitter finish a distinctive caramelly touch. Served way too cold at the brewpub, became slightly more pleasant when it got warmer…

Herb-würziger Antrunk mit konstant mildem und frischem Hopfen. Wenig helles Malz, zum Ende vollmundiger, rund, angenehm. Nett! 11/10/11/9//10

Draught at Dampfe, Essen (probably named Festenbier at the time I had it)
Pale blond color. The aroma is a bit skunky, mass produced lager. Some flavor of corn; low bitterness.
Forgettable.

Herb-säuerlicher Antrunk, zu warm im Brauhaus serviert. Geringe Intensität, wässrig werdend, lebt getreidig. Laff. 11/6/7/7//7

Heller, mild herber Antrunk. Dabei sehr mild, etwas muffig. Kaum süß, im Mittelteil wird das Bier sogar wässrig. Laff herb-getreidiger Abgang. 11/8/7/7//7
