Oktoberfest Teil drei

It is still slightly warm in the northeast, but the bite of the crisp air is here just enough to make it feel like October.
And crispness is certainly a part of any self-respecting Oktoberfest brew. It has been my endeavor this month, nay my sacred mission, to sample all the fine Oktoberfest's of the wold. I have already shared a few favorites with you, and will continue to do so as the days pour on.
I would like to discuss the Oktoberfest offering by a classic German brewery, Hofbrau. I have seen this particular beer maligned by some reviewers, though praised by many others, and I will admit it is a bit plain.
But it tastes distinctly Germanic, it is obviously brewed with pure, crisp water. It is very light, and was a slight tastes of twig, though the good kind. Overall, it is not very memorable, but tastes like a clear, odorless German fall afternoon. So try one, just to get the palatae going, and move on to others, which are coming shortly.
