Festbier is a traditional German lager typically brewed for the autumn festival season, particularly Oktoberfest. It is characterized by its smooth, malty flavor and a moderate alcohol content, usually ranging from 5.5% to 6.5%. The beer is golden in color and often has a slightly sweet, bready taste, making it a popular choice for celebrations. This style of beer is brewed with a combination of pale malts and noble hops, which contribute to its balanced profile. Festbier is served in large quantities during festivals, often in one-liter mugs, and is enjoyed alongside traditional German foods like pretzels and sausages.
