Von Trapp Brewing Stowe Style Festbier
STYLE: German Festbier
INGREDIENTS: All German malt and noble hops
ABV: 5.8%
IBU: 30
COLLABORATION: Narragansett Brewing Crompany
AVAILABILITY: 16oz Cans, Draft (Limited)
Stats above taken from the brewery’s can, website, and Untappd.
Appearance
Yellow/golden in color with thick, fluffy, white head.
Aroma
Bread, with the earthy noble hop note coming through.
Taste
Fresh and clean, with the bread and earthy hop notes continuing from the aroma.
Mouthfeel
Great body and fairly dry, providing a smooth, great balance and serious drinkability.
Overall
I wanted to throw in one of the festbiers as a break from the märzens. Von Trapp never disappoints and I could definitely drink a good amount of these at home or outside in a tent. Another plate of brats, please. Prost!
Cheers and remember:
Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
