CBW Oktoberfest |
| The Brewer's of Bavaria, Germany typically brewed a special beer for an annual celebration. The style which evolved for such an occasion is called an Oktoberfest beer or a Märzen. This is a light to amber colored beer. It is malty in both flavor and aroma making it a delicate beer which is very drinkable.. The hop bitterness is kept low to accentuate the maltiness. Notice the crisp clean character and enjoy. This is a slightly different recipe from last year. I wanted to try using a special German base malt which will give it a bit more color. I also changed the hop variety to a US grown Vanguard which is very close in flavor and aroma to the noble German hop Hallertau Mittelfruh. It is also slightly higher in alcohol than last years version. I hope you enjoy Ein Prosit |
