This ‘Authentic Bavarian Festival Lager’ was strongly recommended by the staff at Western Market in Ferndale. It’s a 5.6% ABV in a 500ml/1 pint 9 ounce bottle.

A good brew for $2.99 US. I’m not sure if I’ll cellar this one or not.

Presentation

The label is non-descript with a German farm house at the center. The bottle is dark.

Pour

The pour looked to be filtered with a rich yellow-orange color. It pours with a good head and tight bubbles.

Aroma

The smell was rich with citrus.

Taste

The taste is decidedly citrus-y. It seems to have some of the same sulphuric compounds as a North American would expect in a European lager like Heineken or Stella Artois, but fewer. It took the glass coming to room temperature before I could detect it.
