Buy Irlbacher Volksfestbier online in the UK, a traditional Bavarian festival lager brewed by Schlossbrauerei Irlbach in Lower Bavaria. Smooth, golden and satisfyingly malty, this seasonal German beer captures the spirit of Bavaria’s local Volksfeste with a fuller body and richer malt character than an everyday Helles.
Tasting Notes
Bright golden in colour with a generous white head. Aromas of fresh bread, biscuit and sweet cereal malt are complemented by delicate floral and herbal hop notes. The palate is smooth and rounded, with flavours of bread crust, light honey and gentle malt sweetness balanced by restrained hop bitterness. Full-flavoured yet highly drinkable, finishing clean, crisp and refreshing.
