• Taste: The taste of the Sol-Fest follows the nose with lots of malty, crackery, light grassy, and hearty bready flavors.  There are notes of toasted barley, biscuit, toasted bread, and a hint of grassy hops.
• Mouthfeel: Light to medium-bodied and well-carbonated, the mouthfeel is very crisp, yet smooth with a very dry, crackery, and clean finish.
