Impression: Graser Kräusen Festbier was unveiled at Sandkerwa 2026, showing Schlenkerla’s Graser brand is not letting up on innovation. It is an unfiltered light amber example of the style. It’s reportedly a mix of a young Franconian Pils and a mature Kellerbier. It’s malty but I find it quite dry without being bitter.
