Festbier / Wiesnbier

Festbier, also known as Wiesnbier, is the modern beer served at Munich's Oktoberfest—a smooth, clean, pale German lager with a mildly sweet malt character and subtle hop presence. It evolved from the darker Märzen style in the 1970s to a more drinkable, golden beer made with Pilsner malt as the base, often supplemented with Vienna and Munich malts, and showcasing noble German hop varieties.
