Würzburger Festbier

After a slight deviation to the mild style, back to Oktoberfest 2009 reviews.  This time it is the Würzburger Festbier. This beer was not had with the two Oktoberfest/Marzen beers previously reviewed.

A frothy white head topped the rich golden elixir. Aromas of bread and malt pleasantly waifed towards my nose. In the mouth the beer ran light and clean, with the aforementioned bread and malt taste. Some sparse hop spice in the finish of the beer made for a slightly coarse ending. I wish the hop had been better integrated making the beer clean all the way through the mouth, at least that is how I felt during the session.

Nothing overly crazy with this beer. I think it hits all the Oktoberfest/Marzen key points. Very much reminded me of the Stoudt’s Fest beer.
