Beer Information
Weihenstephaner: Winter Festbier
This märzen is/was brewed by Weihenstephaner in Freising, Bavaria, Germany. It's achieved an overall score of 46.88%. Based on 1 tasting, the average ABV is 5.80%.
A Belgian fruit beer brewed by Brasserie Haacht, coming in at a warming 7.5% ABV. Pours a deep cherry-red with a soft pink head and rich aroma of red fruits with a hint of wood, with cherry and raspberry taking centre stage.
On the palate, it's sweet but well-balanced - think cherry-candy and raspberry notes, not overly cloying, with a subtle tartness reminiscent of cranberry or hibiscus. It's possible to detect a mild "chemical" edge, but the fruit-forward finish is pleasantly refreshing.
Perfect for a chilled, easy-drinking after meal option, or paired with creamy cheeses, light desserts, or as a refreshing alternative to heavier red wines. Ideal when you’re in the mood for something fruity, bold and distinctly Belgian.
