Privatbrauerei J.B. Falter Pichelsteiner Festbier – Festbier at 5.9% ABV (C$4.83 at Costco Okotoks, 500 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 1-Sep-2026, reviewed 2-Sep-2026)
Appearance: clear pale gold with two fat fingers of pillowy pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: caramel, toasted bread, mild floral. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, medium duration mild finish. (4/5)
My third from a Costco 12-pack of German festbiers. (I couldn’t resist, since I’m flying to Munich in a week, and will be at Oktoberfest in three.) An excellent implementation with absolutely no negatives, but as is so often the case with the traditionalist German brewers, nothing particularly memorable either. (15/20)
This will be my 6,498th unique Untappd check-in.
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
