Warsteiner Oktoberfest
Warsteiner brews this Oktoberfest special edition in limited quantities for the US market, from hand-selected hops, Munich-type spring barley malt and soft water from the Arnsberg Forest, at 5.9 % ABV. Despite the name it is a golden festival lager rather than an amber Märzen. It pours clear gold under a large white head. Honeyed bread, sweet malt and lightly toasted grain fill the nose; the palate is mild and rounded, finishing with a soft, gently spicy hop bitterness.
