Day 22: Schlossbrau Rheder Husaren Trunk 5.5% Festbier/Märzen (according to RateBeer) Nice golden color with thin fizzy bright white foam. Very full aroma, the taste has some decent malt character and fairly prominent herbal hoppiness but throws in an ashy element. Disappointing, I’m hoping this calendar will finish on a high point.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a bit of toasted honey malt. Flavor is more toasted malt with a little spicy white pepper at the end. Don't know where the pepper comes from but it's there. OK festbier.
