Wagner Bräu Festbier
Brewery: Wagner Bräu
Town: Oberhaid
Style: Festbier
Color: in Krug so no visuals, looks dark amber
Head: off-white, thinning
Nose: faint malt
Body: medium
Palate: malty, underlying hops
Finish: semi-dry, fairly clean
Served: on tap at the brewery‘s Hannla Keller
Impression: An odd choice to have it at the Keller rather than the pub but I guess at that time of year, it’s busier out there. It’s an amped up version of the Kellerbier with a somewhat maltier palate and less dryness in the finish. It’s certainly not bad but it didn’t seem to bring a lot more to the table flavor-wise. I thought both the Kellerbier and Lagerbier were better.
Next beer or back to the beer list.

I'm an American living in Munich and Bamberg. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found Beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria and lead beer hiking experiences for those who love beer & nature. View all posts by beerwanderers
