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.
