Fat Head's Brewery

Festbier·United States·5% ABV·One of 142 Festbiers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Fat Head's Oktoberfest's noble-hoppy and malty character. Oktoberfest is a deep gold, Bavarian-style Festbier: toasted grain in the nose, then a crisp, cracker-like malt character. Noble hops close it with a slightly bitter, spicy edge, and the body runs lighter than a Märzen. Imported malts from Germany, Perle and Tettnang hops and German lager yeast make the 5.0% beer at 25 IBU, released from July to September.
