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.

Clear golden in colour with a long lasting white head, excellent lacing. Aroma is of cereal, grains, bread, wheat, grassy hops. Flavour is of straw, grains, wheat, light bitterness, grassy. Bitter mouthfeel, light body, moderate carbonation. Finishes fairly long, bitter, grainy.


Its just okay to me, I’d rather just have a german wheat actually.

500ml bottle purchased at the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario.

Opened on November 14, 2009.

No date.

I love Oktoberfest beers. But when I uncapped this beast, it was pure skunk aroma. The color is light orange with a small white head. The flavor is not what I want with an Oktoberfest, very light body. The taste is dominated by the skunk flavor. Well, I tried it.

Bottle ( 500ml ). Pale clear gold, huge fluffy lasting slightly off-white head. Pretty dull aroma, lightly floral, on the sweet side, grainy; not bad. Taste has more grain to it - oily, nicely and delicately balanced against fresh floral bitterness, not at all boozy. Light, slick, softly carbonated mouthfeel, very quick finish - overall a little light of body, but good with food and it goes down easy

Pours a pale golden colour with thin white head. Aroma is of light hops and grains. Taste is a bit bitter, but overall not much there. Medium carbonation and a bit of a dry finish. Overall nothing spectacular.

Non offensive but not really memorable. Pours a golden yellow with a thin white head. Taste is of malt, honey and a little hop bitter aftertaste. A little weak of a beer for a marzen, might have liked to have a little more spice in this but if you are pounding this at Oktoberfest, this will go down just fine.
