About This Beer
Inspired by Oktoberfest celebrations of decades past, Listermann decided to brew this beer in the more traditional, darker and maltier Festbier style than the lighter styles of today.
Tasting Notes
Pouring a beautiful reddish amber, the brew spills enticing dark fruit aromas. On the tongue, it’s a dance between notes of sweet caramel, fig, and toasted biscuit, finishing cleanly with just a whisper of hop bitterness.

A touch too hoppy for a festbier. Fortunately the biscuity malt is present enough to keep this beer mostly to style.

Color reflects the toasty malty side, but I was surprised by the bitterness and would prefer less of it.

A decent representation of this style. It could use a bit more of a pronounced malty flavor profile.
