Paulaner Oktoberfest

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Munich, Germany

Austere nose with malty German character. Beautiful dark amber color. Sharp attack with smooth Oktoberfest flavors and an intense finish. Very enjoyable as one of my favorite months winds down.

A light yellow with a creamy and sustained head. Very light Germanic hops offer a light respite from full sweet and thick maltiness. Milky and a little claggy. Could do with a slightly spikier carbonation I reckon.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a Spaten Oktoberfest Stange glass. There is a "produced on" date of 09/09 and sampled on 10-19-09 Appearance: The body has a deep coppery amber color with very good clarity. On top sits a tall light beige head. It is light, fluffy and fades out quickly leaving only a little spotty lacing at the top of the glass. Smell: Its aroma is full of sweet bready, toasted and roasted malts with a touch of nutty character, caramel candy and noble hops. There is also a very slight hint of mineral like or hard water like aroma. Taste/Palate: The flavor is much the same as the aroma. It has loads of sweet malty goodness with nice nutty and roasted character. Its sweetness fades towards the finish and leafy/mineral like hop favors come in and add a nice balance of flavor and bitterness. It finishes crisp and clean and has a nice solid medium body which is extremely drinkable. The carbonation is soft which make for a very smooth texture. Notes: This is a very tasty and extremely drinkable Oktoberfest. The only thing I could ask for would be a little more head retention. This is one of the better Oktoberfest beers that I have had. Very well done!!!

Bottle. Golden yellow just a touch darker than the regular. Good, fine, creamy head. Relatively strong aroma with slightly sweet malt and ok hops as well. Very malty flavor, slightly sweet, with a touch of fruit. Slightly stronger than usual. Medium light body, slight bitter hop finish, but not a strong finish at all. Decent beer, though not really all that exciting, though much richer and otherwise nicer than the bottled helles.

500ml bottle. Pours a clear, copper colored body with a thin, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a light lacing. Aroma is malty with a caramel sweetness, some hay, a light toast, and a hint of spice. A somewhat grainy nose with some citrusy lemon notes as well. Flavor is sweet with some slightly watery caramels, grass, a light toast, and some floral fruits towards the end. Finishes lightly hopped after a thinner to medium body. Medium aftertaste of thinner malts and a light fruity grass. Goes down very easy. Overall, not bad, but unexciting. Everything works well together for an uneventful, yet satisfying beer.
