Bottle from a REWE in Forchheim. Deep gold in colour, with a slight white head and moderate carbonation. Heavy cereal malts, some stone fruits and a gently bitter finish. Ok, but a bit heavy going.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
My Bottom Line :
Discreet herbal hops accompany fruity angles into a smooth peppery finish in this nicely drinkable festbier.
Further Personal Perceptions :
-Foam tufts cling to the top of the beer all the way down the krug. Quite appealing.
-This is not as sweet as Greif’s and Wolfshöher’s Annafestbiers, which is nice.
-Again, malt flavors are very polished, which seemed to be common at the Annafest.
-The big, soft bubbles and rather lean body (for an Annafestbier) make drinkability quite high.
On tap at Annafest.

From tap at the wonderfully hidden Blümleinskeller at the Annafest. Aromatic hop aroma. Couldnt see much of the colour due to the Stein and the amazing super stable head. Full malt body and noble hops, light metallic clayish notes - it tastes like the beer has absorbed a bit of the rock from the old Keller. Chewy full body. Fruity aftertaste (pears, clementines). Franconia Rocks!
