Norbertus Festbier (50cl)

Norbertus Festbier is a pale, bottom-fermented German lager in a 50cl glass bottle. It follows the tradition of convent beers, which were once brewed to a seasonal calendar, and carries the name of Norbert of Xanten, patron of the Aulendorf brewery. Like the rest of the Norbertus range, it is brewed to the Bavarian Purity Edict of 1516, using only water, malt and hops. The nose combines fresh yeast and wildflowers with plum, apricot and yellow peach. The palate is sweet, with yeast and malt, and the hops come through in the finish.
