Neder Pils is a fine cross between a traditional Pils and a Helles with more body and malt than the former and more hops than the latter. It's a tough balancing act but it pulls it off.
Neder St. Anna-Festbier is a light amber Festbier with a rich malty palate with some grain mixed in. The fairly clean finish is semi-dry with a touch of bitterness.
Neder Fassbier is a dry fruity quaffer with a long dry finish and about as perfect for a session of drinking as you'll find.
Neder Gregor Bockbier is a great dry fruity Bock with a long bittersweet finish.
Schwarze Anna is perhaps the best beer at the Annafest and certainly the most different. It's a real black beauty.
