Weihenstephaner Festbier



I have been looking for this for a while(downtown liquers in davis sq has most weihenstephaners except this) After going into work on saturday for an hour(yes only an hour) I stopped by the savemor on the way back home on a whim.... and walked out with 30 dollars of 4 beers. with this being one of them.

I also figured this was a decent chance to use the half liter hacker Pshorr glasses my friend Elliot gave me(6 months ago) I had been keeping them away from my roommates.... who have a tendency to break my glassware, which also meant that I didn't actually use them.

First Impressions: full of particles, like the St Bernardus tripel, which make it a bit cloud, lighter in color then the Hacker Pshorr. Smells of malt

Taste: Incredible. Possibly on of the most drinkable beers Ive had. Starts off with a mellow bite.. smooth malty middle then a zing on the tongue near the end, with a slightly sour finish

overall: great. This may beat out Hacker Pshorr as my fav octoberfest(which is ironic since I'm having it in a Hacker Pshorr glass). Its not as heavily malty as most, but it just tastes amazing. I can see myself having liters of this in a german beer hall
