Bottle from Drinks World, Harborne. Pours golden, with a fluffily laced head. First off, this is a very tasty lager - rich malty goodness, with enough lagering hops to create freshness and fullness. A bit more oomph on the finish would have been lovely, but it’s still nice. Not much of a Festbier though, as far as I can see.

Bottle from Rehills in Newcastle. Golden coloured with a strong sweet malty and toffee flavour and a warming fruity finish.

Lager looks with a chunky white collar. Sweetcorn, vague mown grass, a little lemon curd in the nose. Really decent, clean-cut, honeyed pine and grass flavour with green herb hints: way more hop character than expected from a winter festbier. Thick and persistent. Well-hopped, conditioned, satisfying lager.

Bottle. Bright gold with a white foam. Aromas are cereal, biscuit and caramel. Herbal with soft spices and lemon. Flavours are sweet grain and lemon with festive spices and salted butter. Dry on the finish. Pretty decent.

My Third Faust brew of the afternoon/evening and the it affirmed the quality of the ’Water’ that the brewery has. There is a mouth feel that is typical to all three brews I tried today(14/12/11) in North Bar, Leeds. You won’t find a better brewery than one that sits on a great water source. For a Fest beer it was a great way to get into a German festive feel.

15-May-08 (500-ml swing-top bottle, Best by 03-Jul-08: Free sample bottle for stewarding the 2008 World Beer Cup in San Diego, CA) This festbier pours a clear, golden-yellow color and is topped by a large, white, foamy head. The moderately sweet malt flavor is grainy and lighter, somewhere between a premium lager and a true Märzen. Hops flavor is very light, and bitterness is mild. As with the flavor, the nose is mostly grainy malts, lightly sweet and low in hops. Medium in body, soft and light in carbonation. Decent.
