Fair State FestBier

Fair State Co-op Fester. 5.2% ABV. 20 IBU. NE Pride. Zicke Zacke Zicke Zacke.

Clear, bright golden coloring, a bit lighter than I’d expect, nice white head.

Noble hop aromatics, crisp and clean, malty, herbal, earthy. Classic marzen nose.

Taste:  Sweet malts and classic noble hops. Bitterness keeps butter at bay. But, it’s a bit happier and not as rich and malty as I’d expect. Nothing wrong with interpretation, though. It’s damned tasty, and pretty easy to drink.

There’s a little bit of gobbledygook on the label: “A traditional German-style marine lager  brewed to celebrate the harvest season. Rich, malty, and toasty.”
