Oktoberfest

Tap to rate

A Bavarian-style Oktoberfest lager, smooth and malty with rich toasted notes and a clean finish. It is built for clinking mugs, soaking in the golden hour and waving goodbye to summer, a seasonal from La Cumbre, the Albuquerque brewery that opened its doors in 2010.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent toasted and bready malt character, evoking fresh bread crust and light caramel sweetness. Noble hops provide a subtle herbal counterpoint, while a soft, clean fermentation keeps the overall profile balanced and approachable without demanding attention.

◐ Taste

Soft and malty entry with biscuit and light roasted grain moving across the palate. The mid-palate fills with gentle sweetness tempered by low bitterness (22 IBU), maintaining an overall smooth, clean drinking experience that never becomes cloying or harsh.
