Octubrefest

Tap to rate

A seasonal lager for October, the brand's take on the beers served at Munich's Oktoberfest, first brewed at the Bariloche brewhouse in 2017. It pours copper under a creamy white head. The malt shapes the aroma, with biscuit, light toast and dried fruit. The palate opens slightly sweet, with soft toasted caramel and bread crust, then turns dry and clean. The body is light yet present, and bitterness stays low.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Octubrefest

◎ Appearance

Copper hue with excellent clarity, presenting as a classic Märzen in the glass. The head arrives creamy and white, settling into a stable collar with fine lacing that clings to the glass walls as you drink. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the visual presentation without dominance.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by clean malt character, displaying biscuit sweetness and light toasted grain notes. Dried fruit esters emerge subtly in the background—a hint of stone fruit and raisin without fermentation harshness. There is minimal hop presence; the aromatic profile rests entirely on the malt's toasted complexity and the lager's restrained fruitiness.

Mid-palate sweetness persists with body and texture, then transitions into a dry, clean finish that cuts through the initial malt impression.

What is a Märzen?

Märzens are Bavarian lagers with 5.8–6.3% ABV. Rich toasty malt — bread, caramel, biscuit — with clean lager fermentation and low bitterness.

Finding a similar Märzen
