Able Oktoberfest.
6% ABV. 18 IBU. Able Seedhouse + Brewery, Minneapolis, MN.
Clear, bright golden hue, sizable and staying layer of ivory foam.
In the nose: Lightly grainy, mostly malty, floral hop notes.
In the mouth: Crisp and clean, light bodied, exceptionally drinkable. I had aniticipated this one to be a märzen style, for no particular reason. Clearly, it's a Festbier. I suppose that I expect domestic Oktoberfests to be in the märzen style. It's all good. This one is refreshing and delicious. You can drink this in quantity, do your polka, eat your sausage, all the things.
A classic German Festbier for autumn. Crisp traditional lager profile with balanced floral hops and deep bready character. Prost!
