Range Brewing’s Festbier, a collaboration with Burnley Brewing, reimagines the classic festival lager with a sessionable 4.2% ABV. Utilizing premium German malts and a traditional double decoction mash, it presents a deep golden hue with a creamy, persistent head. The use of a Kölsch yeast strain introduces a unique hybrid twist, imparting delicate strawberry and raspberry esters that dance over a soft, bready malt foundation. Despite its lighter alcohol content, the decoction process ensures a surprisingly bold and rich mouthfeel. It finishes remarkably crisp and clean, balancing a gentle malty sweetness with a supportive, refined bitterness that ensures high drinkability.

Appearance. Deep gold color (SRM 5) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a persistent, dense white foam stand that leaves moderate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a rich, toasty-doughy malt character from the German malts. The Kölsch yeast provides distinctive but light fruity esters reminiscent of fresh strawberry and raspberry. Low herbal hop notes and a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is of soft, lightly toasty bread dough and pilsner malt richness. The Kölsch yeast strain adds nuanced red fruit flavors that complement the malt sweetness. Bitterness is medium-low and supportive, providing balance without overpowering the malt. The finish is crisp, clean, and well-attenuated, leaving a short, pleasant aftertaste of grain and light fruit.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a surprisingly bold, creamy texture due to the double decoction mash. Carbonation is moderate-high, enhancing the crispness. No alcohol warmth is perceived, and the beer lacks any harsh astringency.
