Kloster Andechs Festbier

 Kloster Andechs Festbier.


Brewed and bottled by the Andechs Monastery Brewery, Andechs, Bayern, Deutschland. Switch 1455. Super Premium Bavarian Lager Beer. 5.9% ABV.

Clear, bright golden hue, ivory ring of foam that starts big, then slips down to size. 

In the nose: clean, mildly hopped, mostly malty.

In the mouth: crisp and bright, rich and malty, but the caramely kind associated with Märzen. Smooth and delicious. Light bodied, easy drinking. Slight sweetness, well rounded, excellent balance. The merest bitterness lingers  on the palate. 

I enjoy drinking this lager. Märzen is still my preferred Oktoberfest style, but I can’t deny the brilliant flavors here. 

Prost!
