Commercial Description:
The Munich Beer Festival, or Oktoberfest, is an event of superlatives - it’s the largest popular festival in the world, staging in the beer metropolis of Munich. Millions of visitors from all over the world flock along every year to enjoy its very special atmosphere. For this occasion, Hofbräu brews a rich, full-bodied beer which goes down ideally with traditional Bavarian cuisine. With its deliciously bitter taste and alcoholic content of 6.3% volume, Hofbräu Oktoberfestbier is as special as the Beer Festival itself.

500ml Bottle: Pours straw coloured, thin lines of carbonation rising up, pretty decent couple fingers of white head on top. Super skunky aroma ( why am I the only one getting that?), grassy and grainy, harsh malts. Not good. First sip is a decently bitter, biscuity and grainy. Mild sweetness, semi one-dimensional and more reminiscent of a Czech pale lager than a proper Marzen. Bah.

Nice gold with decent foamy white head. Grassy, caramel, and hop aroma. Crisp German hops balanced by barley and malt. Simple, yet intricate flavour. My kind of German beer.

330ml bottle. Very clean and clear pale honey colour with a large white head with big bubbles. Malt and hop aroma with a salty seawater aroma thrown in. Light and dry in the mouth with a mellow smooth briny taste.

It’s warm golden with a white head and the aroma has notes of malt and straw. The flavor has a light sweetness and notes of malt, alcohol, straw, light fruit and the finish is dry.

Pours a particularly pale color with a nice head that recedes after a bit. The aroma is bready and lightly nutty with some honey and fresh hay. The flavor is grainy with some cereal notes. Better flavors include a nuttiness and some mild but effective noble hop character. The beer is a tad sweet and a bit bready.

Bottle from the LCBO. Light bright golden with a large white head. Aroma is quite grassy and grainy, a but of sugar, some alcohol as it warms. Full mouthfeel, a bit sticky. Flavour is quite sweet to start, followed by wet cereal and dried grass, hints of overripe fruit. I enjoyed this at first, when it was fresh from the fridge and still quite cold, but it becomes less pleasant as it warms. A pretty poor Oktoberfest/Märzen - reminds me more of a strong lager from the former Eastern bloc.
