Wheat | October 20th 2015 | |
Solid wheat.THe description from Festa Brew called it a north american style wheat which is fine, but I was hoping for more of a hefeweizen. In any case I brewed it a little off from the instructions (4 weeks primary, to bottle) and turned out pretty good. No off flavours, a bit of that trademark wheat beer banana going on. No real hop aroma. I was hoping there wouldn't be a strong presence of north american hops as that's not my preference for wheat beers.. and there isn't. It's a bit more like a kristalweizen, by my non-professional opinion. Would brew again! |

West Coast India Pale Ale | March 31st 2015 | |
Compliments, and I'm not even an IPA fanBrewed last summer with only entry level expectations, but quite surprised. I didn't think I'd like it to such a degree (hot weather required). Did a side by side with a local "west coast ale" and preferred the festabrew. It's held up well over time, and by demand of others I will be brewing again. Big hop flavour and aroma, solid bitterness for my tastes (I can see it a bit mild for some). I'll take it everytime over any "light lager." |
