Impression: This was one gorgeous looking Festbier with a richly malty nose tinged with apricot and citrusy hops. The balanced palate is similarly richly malty, fruity and hoppy. The lingering finish is semi-dry and semi-bitter. Deceptively strong due to the hopping but my guess is 5.5%. I later found out it was listed at 5.2% but it sure felt stronger when drinking it!
