Spaten Oktoberfestbier
Spaten brews its Oktoberfestbier in spring for the Munich Oktoberfest. This is the golden festival lager poured in the tents, not the amber Ur-Märzen sold abroad. At 13.7 °P it is fuller than the Hell: the aroma brings grain and fresh grass, the palate white bread, caramel sugar and a rounded malt sweetness. The finish shows a fine, grainy bitterness with a grassy hop note, while the alcohol stays in the background.
