Commercial Description:
Roll out a barell of our Oktoberfest LAger which features Weyermann Munich malt, imported German Perle hops for bittering, and Gernman Hallertau hops which are prized for their delicate aroma. A long, slow cold storage softens the malt flavors, and makes this this only beer that should pass your lips when you hear the call of the Oom-pah band. Try it with Zweibel Schnitzel Bayrische Grillhaxe or with a simple soft pretzel and hot mustard. Serve at 6 degrees celcius. Unpasturized and unfiltered.

half pints oktoberfest, 22 oz bomber, 22 IBU, 6.2%. Poured into a Samuel Adams Oktoberfest stein. Reddish brown body, fairly opaque, lovely, cream-toned head. Sweet aromatics, fresh, malty, herbal, slightly vegetal. Beautiful stuff. Rich and full in the mouth, with hefty flavor. Solid malt, with discernible hop bitterness. Light nut flavor, with bright fruit feel shining in. Very tasty, gets better as we go. Smooth and drinkable. Very nice.

660ml bottle.
Pours a hazy amber brown with a fine white head. Leaves a little bit of lacing. Smells nutty with roasted malts, caramel, and some citrus and floral hops. In the mouth it’s medium-thin with a smooth and soft carbonation. Flavour starts off malty sweet with some biscuit and honey. finishes with a citrusy bitter hop taste.

Appearance- hazy chestnut with a frothy white head. Nose- mostly bready malts with some hop spice. Tate- doughy, bready malts and grains. Some fall spices are noticable as well, along with a tangy hoppy bite. Finish is dry and earthly. Carbonation is spot on and drinkability is very high. A delicious seasonal from HP. Great stuff!

Beautiful deep copper in colour, very long lasting light beige coloured head, great lacing. The aroma was quite hoppy for an Oktoberfest, good amount of citrus, lots of bready malts, some rye, noticable sweetness. The flavour is toasty, good amount of bready malts, caramel sweetness, some citrus but nowhere near the amount that was in the aroma, light chocolate. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes medium length, toasting with a great lingering sweetness. This is a very good Oktoberfest, a hoppy example, very enjoyable.

660ml bottle obtained in a trade with <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=10311 target=blank>piscator34, thanks Kris.
Opened on March 21, 2007.
