With its deliciously bitter taste and alcoholic content of 6.3% volume, Hofbräu Oktoberfestbier is as special as the Beer Festival itself.

Pours gold into a stein. Bright white head quickly recedes to hug rim. Cookie aromas. Crisp with upfront sweet malts and a dry, hoppy finish.

Nice lacing. Golden and sparkly. Fresh, bready aroma is quite full, sweet and only slightly toasty. Slightly toasty palate with a nice bready character. Sweet, slightly creamy body. Off-dry finish.

On tap. Poured a medium gold color with a smallish head. Some bread sweetness in taste but it is mild. Very well balanced and very drinkable.

Bottle… Clear yellow lager with a large, fluffy, white head. Fantastic, rocky retention. The aroma is of honey and skunk. Medium to full-bodied with prickly carbonation. Sweet and malty, but decently balanced by a crisp Bavarian hop bite. Crisp, minerally, lightly sweet finish.

The pour was a very pale copper color with almost no head and no lacing. The aroma was very malty with only a bit of light fruit cutting through. The flavor was malty, bready and barely fruity. Thin mouthfeel. Not a whole lot going for this one.

Pours golden with a fairly large white head. Aroma is slightly skunky pale malt. Taste is smooth and malty as well, with a very small taste of hops. A very light marzen, almost more like a helles to me.

Brilliant golden color with a light white head. Crisp malty aroma with hints of newly-baked bread. Refreshing nice malty flavor with butterscotch and a perfectly balanced hop-bitterness.

Although this does seem to rate well here, I had it on tap at Andy’s and it reminded me of the beers in the Munich tents. Golden with thin white head and light lacing. Clean malty aroma and wonderful malty flavor. Low carbonation gives this a creamy feel on the tongue.
