Stern-Bräu Festbier on tap #2

Stern-Bräu Festbier on tap in 2021 was again very dark and not as smoky but remained a sublimely dry session beer supreme.

Drei Kronen Festbier is unsurprisingly malty brew with just enough hops to dry it nicely in the finish.

Trunk Nothelfer Erntebier is the brewery's autumn entry with a deep golden hue and rich malty palate.

Mühlendbräu Hansenbier is a special Festbier with a balanced palate and lingering semi-dry finish.

Hebendanz Annafest Bier is the brewery's richly malty entry for the town's annual beer festival set in the Kellerwald outside Forchheim.

Bayreuther Rauch-Märzen is a great introductory Rauchbier with a light smoky palate and clean, semi-bitter finish.

Becher-Bräu Stadtbier is richly malty Festbier with some spiciness reminiscent of a Märzen and just enough hops to finish semi-bitter.

Held-Bräu Fest-Bier is typical Festbier with a balanced malty palate and clean semi-dry finish.

Greif Anna Festbier is a dry fruity Festbier with enough hops to make for a dryish and moreish finish. Better than the average Festbier!

Stern-Bräu Festbier in 2021 in a bottle turned out to be quite different, a rich dark smoky treat.
