Faust Festbier

Faust Winter Festbier
0,5l
5,5%

And part 2 of the Faust week. As Spring starts or has started it is high time that I open  the Winter Beer... It deviates from the usual Faust labels a bit and depicts a fluffily cute Christmas Village.

So time to bring summer into life. It pours nicely clear and amber colored with a nice foamy head and loads of yummy white foam. (It's funny that in Finland eg. the Bartends tend to get the foam out of the glass when I order a beer.. over here in Germany I'd prolly return the beer if it wouldn't have any foam..

It smells very fresh and fruity with light malt tones that are very sublime. The yeast also is noticeable but blends in nicely with the fruity tones. All in all it does smell very appetizing.

It's nicely sweet and slightly yeasty, it could go with a bit more hoppy bitterness but as it's a Christmas beer that's OK as it should help warming your insides on a cold winters day. The carbonation is about perfect and it leaves a pleasant warm, slightly yeasty aftertaste. This is good drinks definitely and another great brew by Faust. Slight honey aroma tops off the whole composition
