Alesmith Aleschmidt Oktoberfest. Gernan-style märzen lager. Clea. Malty. Elegant.
(“Schmidt” is the deutsch for “Smith”, get it?)
5.5% ABV, 13 IBU. Alesmith Brewing, San Diego, California.
Clear, amber hued, small white, soon gone.
In the nose: sweet and malty, caramel-ish, toasty. Highly likable.
In the mouth: more smooth malty flavors ensue. A sweet treat that can’t be beat. Mild hops, mostly for balance. Medium bodied, long malt finish. Delicious. More caramel-esque-ishness, lightly toasted, excellent Oktoberfest.
This classic German-style amber lager has been brewed in Germany and Austria for hundreds of years, though it was made famous for being served at Munich’s Oktoberfest celebration since 1872. Modern versions exported to the United States are often labeled Oktoberfest and the name has become synonymous in the minds of most brewers and consumers with the traditional Märzen style, though modern iterations of the style in Europe are considerably lighter. Our take on this classic is characterized by a clean, elegant, and toasty malt character. Prost!
