Flavor

The palate begins with a taste of brown bread and is quickly followed by a sweetness of dark fruits. Bitterness is expectedly mild but the taste is balanced by hints of noble hops, roast, and spices. A base of brown bread sweetened with molasses, toffee, and nut tie the palate together.

Mouthfeel

The feel is smooth with a medium body and medium-light carbonation. It’s slightly sticky through the middle.

Overall

Ayinger Celebrator smells sugary sweet but its palate offers enough balance with its blend of hops, roast, and spices. The mouthfeel is a little light for the style but otherwise, this lager is a smooth, easy drinker. Prost!
