Olde Hickory Oktoberfest Lager


Olde Hickory Oktoberfest Lager. Brewed and bottled by Olde Hickory Brewery, Hickory, North Carolina.

Clear, copper/amber coloring, small white head.

Deep, warm, herbal aromatics. Much malt in the nose, just enough sweetness, ending dryly. Nice.

Taste: A rich, malty affair in this bottle. A little bit of hop bitterness counteracts the big malt flavor and ensuing sweetness. Great balance in this one. Unknown alcohol, but it feels moderate. Clean, beautiful flavor, tasty little tango between bitter and sweet. MMM, yummy. I'm going to enjoy this all the way down the bottle.

What do they say about their beer? "This is a traditional German-style Marzen. A rich malty lager beer delicately balanced and brewed with imported noble hops. Crafted for enjoyment during the fall season! Cheers!"

Cheers back at you, OH!
