Wachtelbräu Hell is a bright golden unfiltered example of the style. The creamy head and grainy/floral hoppy nose are enticing. The balanced palate has a perfect balance of the those same elements. The lingering finish is semi-dry and semi-bitter.

Kitzmann Bergkirchweihbier
Kitzmann Bergkirchweih Festbier is richly malty as it typical of the style. Toasted malt intermingles with the underlying hops for an easy drinking festival treat. The lingering finish is just a tad sticky but not unusual in in this richly malty style.
Entla’s Bräu Giesela Festbier
Entla's Bräu Giesela Festbier is hoppier than typical Festbier with ample malt backbone. Spicy hops in the nose foretell a balanced palate that dries out nicely in the lingering semi-dry semi-bitter finish.
Steinbach-Bräu Bergkirchweihbier
Steinbach-Bräu Bergkirchweihbier is the small brewpub's entry at their annual Bierfest on the hill. While true to style, it's not overly tasty and the finish kind of just sits there.
Entla’s Keller Spezialsud
Entla's Keller Spezialsud is a Kellerbier brewed by Entla's, Erlangen's newest brewery but much beloved Keller.
Kitzmann Original

Kitzmann Pils
Erlangen's stopped brewing on September 30, 2018 but it is hoped their new owner Kulmbacher will continue to brew their large portfolio of beers. Their Kellerbier was true to form and it would be sad to see it not produced.
