Light grassy bitterhop aroma. Pale yellow, lowish carbonation and a head with lacking stability. Neutral flavors (euphemism for no flavors). Watery body and nonexistant exit. Not much Fest in this beer.

Bottle @ Early Winter season 11/12 Part. 3, Ulfborg. Pours clear yellow with a small white head. Straw and grass. Clean and easy. Short bitter finish. Medium bodied.

Bottle. A small, off-white head sits on top of a clear, golden body. Pine cones and a little peppery touch, as well as pale malts and a generic fruityness in the aroma. The flavor could probably use a little bit more bitterness, but is quite pleasant anyway, with pale malts, fruityness and a slight piney touch. Dry and medium bodied, pleasant carbonation. A nice one, flavorful and quenching. 111126

Bottle @ FOneFan. Clear golden with medium white head. Aroma is malt, hops and straw. Flavour is malt, medium sweet, hops, little grainy and a little bitter.

Golden with a decent head. Malt-accented nose with light fruitiness and a slight herbal character. Tastes fresh with only a light doughy malt accent and a hint of herbs. Subtle beer, in the modern festbier tradition.

Draft at the brewery. Bright golden, served in a dimpled mug. White foamy head with gorgeous lacing. The aroma is bright Munich-like festbier and grainy. It’s a solid one by that standard, with the sweet, big malty flavors and a dry, fruity finish. Very good for what it does.

Bottle (kindly delivered by joss!): Pale golden, small white lacy head; sweetish-bisquity nose with a strawy touch; light to moderate sweetish-fruity taste, light to medium bodied; sweetish finish with a faint lemony-hoppy aftertaste. Rather bland Festbier............

Clear yellow beer with a small head. Moderated malt and yeast aroma, some citrus in the nose. Weak body with a grassy hop, some malt and yeast, some citrus on the palate.
