Dieses sogenannte Festbier kann man höchstens auf einer Beerdigung trinken, beim trinken ist mir zum heulen zumute. Schmeckt muffig und irgendwie so, als wäre der Geschmack zurück gehalten worden. Irgendwie ein komisches Bier. Das kaufen lohnt sich, wie bei den meisten anderen Bieren dieser Brauerei auch, nicht. Test vom 2.4.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,5,7,6,12,6 - 6,80

A nondescript Oktoberfestbier. It has a decent flavor but nothing flashy. Hints of nuts and caramel.

Szúrós, kénes illata van. A töltésnél szép arcát mutatja. A rezes, mézes, borostyánszínű folyadék szép krémes sárgás habot termel. Közepesen testes, édeskés sör. Harmonikus, gömbölyű ízek, némi kiélezett, mézesen csípős édességgel, továbbá valami számomra kicsit visszataszítóan selymes, tejszerű gördüléssel. Ebben is feltűnnek a pincés, mohos ízek, némi kellerbier-hangulat, de ennek sincs olyan erős íz-karaktere, ami revelatívan mesélne a környék ízléséről, hagyományairól.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, golden beer with a white head. A little caramel in the aroma, but mostly fruityness. Pale malts and fruityness makes the flavor too, with a caramel sweetness as well. Medium body, quite dry. Nice bitterness towards the end, but overall, this is just another festbier. 090822
