2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Light grainy nose. Golden, low head. Medium body, sparkly. Light grain, ok balance. Not too inspired, but quenches the thirst.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
bottle. Clear deep golden yellow colour, large white head. Malty nose. Fruity and very malty with a dry and hoppy finish. There is an interesting but shy note of salt present. Smooth mouthfeel - a pleasant brew.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle: Golden coloured with a small, stable white head, visible carbonation, light grainy bisquity nose with the faintest tinge of cardboard; sweetish-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; almost not detectable light grainy-bitter finish. Boredom rules........
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
(bottle) I was told that Stöttner Festbier PfaffenGold is the renewed Festbier, now available all the year. Clear, pale golden colour with a big, but quickly diminishing foamy white head. Sweet, slightly strawy malt aroma with a touch of honey. Slightly sweet flavour with a tinge of bitterness, medium to light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Malty base, not overly aromatic but slightly papery and perfumed; almost dry, honey-malty finish with shy hints of hops. Just the souped-up version of their Helles.
