hopIQ found 10 beers with the same malty and toasty character as Oktoberfest. A copper autumn lager on pale and Munich malt, hopped with Hallertau, Perle and Quebec Crystal. Munich malt sets the tone: barley sugar and toasted bread crust with a light nutty edge, and enough residual sweetness to fill the middle. Hopping is restrained at 20 IBU and reads herbal rather than bitter. The body is fuller than the strength suggests and the finish closes clean and malty. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
