Beer: Festbier

October 25, 2018 by thebeersbeer

Beer: Festbier

ABV: 6.3%

Brewery: Occidental Brewing Co. – Portland, OR
Brewery IG: @occidentalbrewing

Rating: 4/5
Notes: Malty and flavorful. A solid festbier from Occidental. This isn’t like the beers at the Oktoberfest in Germany (I went last year) but it is very similar to
US Oktoberfest beers I’ve had. The German Oktoberfest beers we’re much lighter and we’re similar to a lager.
Bottle art: Cool design but simple. I get it.
Drinkage: No date on bottle.

Rating: 4.75/5
Notes: Muahahaha. Awesome. Very similar to the Blueberry Muffins with a touch more sweetness, some graininess from the cereal, and super drinkable. Like the Blueberry Muffins it has a sourness but not very tart or sour. It’s there but it’s subtle which I really enjoy.
