Spaten Oktoberfest Reviewed

From Munich, Germany

The Brewery says...Spaten Oktoberfest Beer is amber in color. This medium bodied beer has achieved its impeccable taste by balancing the roasted malt flavor with the perfect amount of hops. Having a rich textured palate with an underlying sweetness true to tradition.

I say...

Appearance: Pours a clear, light copper with some reddish hues. The head dissipates immediately leaving no cap. 7/10

Body: Light and dry with concentrated carbonation. 7.3/10

Nose: Sweet malt notes, feint caramel, baked bread and some earthy hop notes in the background with a touch of lemon. 7.1/10

Taste: A very dry beer, with malt leading the way with the aforementioned bread bolstering. The hops play a co-pilot role and balances the malt by providing some earthy citrusy notes. 7.3/10

Total: 7.2/10

 Comment: This is a drinking beer, a festival beer. A beer that you should be able to drink 5 or 6 of. A perfect football beer. A sausage pairing beer.
