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.

Re-rate: I agree with my previous rating, but must increase , my scores. This beer is GREAT. I must say I don’t agree with this sub 3.0 overall rating. I found this beer to be very malty, well balanced with a crisp fnish. Great color with a clean white head. I could drink a lot of these.

Slightly yellow dark color, a lot shining and of medium fizz. Fine and persistent foam, good adhesion. Pleasants and decided malty scents, herbaceous rumors and of hoppines on the end. Notes of honey and alcohol. Prickly taste, decided and wrapping. Solid but extremely drinkable. Determined and balanced bitter. Stable and pungente. Lightly mellow and much lively one.

Gold with a thin white head. Smells slightly lemony. Tastes surprisingly full considering the non-descript aroma with some decent sugar and straw notes. Drinkable, but not what I expect from an Oktoberfest.

30 Jul 2005 - (Rosalbahof) - Light sweet and hoppy floral aroma. Clear yellow, ordinary head and suds lacing. Bannana flavour with light malt. finishes with a hoppy bitterness that lingers.

The new style of Oktoberfest to please the american influenced youth of Oktoberfest. Pale color, bland flavor, malty sweet, well carbonated, light head (more liquid beer per glass), very lightly hopped. Sightly warming, light but lingering finish. It’s not a bad beer, for light lagers. But the point is, why? I much prefer the old vienna red old marzens. I had it on draft downtown at the Bodega in La Crosse.

(bottle) Clear golden colour with a medium foamy white head. Malts accentuated aroma, flavour and taste also with toasted elements, complemented with a soft fruitiness and a soft bitter finish.
