Real Ale Oktoberfest

◎ Appearance

Copper-colored body with bright clarity and moderate carbonation. The head forms with good density and leaves fine lacing on the glass as it settles. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, characteristic of a well-crafted traditional lager.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy Malz character from Munich and Vienna malt varieties, creating a bread-forward impression. Noble hops contribute gentle herbal and slightly floral notes in the background without dominating. Overall the aroma is restrained and balanced, allowing the malt foundation to speak clearly.

◐ Taste

Bready and malty entry builds through the mid-palate with smooth, clean characteristics. The traditional Bavarian malts deliver substantial cereal sweetness tempered by low bitterness from the 22 IBU charge. The finish is crisp and dry, with minimal hop aggression allowing the malt profile to persist gently.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and relatively short, fading with lingering malt sweetness and no harsh edges. Noble hops provide just enough drying effect to prevent cloyingness.
