Victory Brewing Co. - Festbier Review

Brewery: Victory - Festbier

Type: Octoberfest

ABV: 5.6%

Sight: Clear deep-dark amber-brown with a light red hue. A nice white head pours from the bottle, leaving a fingers-thick fluffy cap that dissloves into a very thin film on the surface.


Aroma: Lightly roasted malts are in the foreground with a tingle of alcohol and a touch hop earthiness in the background.

Taste: Dryness and the malt come forward well. The middle gets a little chalky and a bit more dryer. Following to the end comes a inubtrusive sour pinch on the corners of the tongue. The finish is mild and brings more maltiness that tries to cover that sour.

Overall: Not a bad representation of the style. Light mouthfeel malty and a light sweetness. It could be enjoyed as a session beer if you don't mind a little sour holding on to the edges of your tongue.

Score: 8.3/10
