Greetings! It's been a little bit since my last review. I've been busy with work and school work.
Today's beer is Schwaben Brau Volksfest Bier. They sell this at the shoppette. It is a seasonal beer that usually comes out around late fall or early winter. I had a couple left over and it's been kept in my chilly basement over the winter so it should still be good.
Schwaben Brau Volksfest Bier (5.5 ABV)
This is labeled as a Marzen. However, it tastes a bit like a mild Pilsner. It has a deep golden color and a bit cloudy.
When poured, it generates a medium head that dissipates quickly. I detect some wheaty, malty, and a hint of berry fruit aromas. This beer is medium bodied and tastes a bit doughy and hoppy with a crisp and ever so slightly tart finish.
I like this beer. To me, it's the best of a lager and a pils. Overall, I'd give it a B-. You may be able to find this beer in your country or if you happen to be in Germany during the Volksfest time, pick it up and give it a try. Prost!
