Hacker-Pschorr - Oktoberfest

First of all... GO IOWA STATE!!! WE CRUSHED IOWA!!! That was a great game.  One of the best I've seen between these two squads.  Good work guys.  Bring home the CyHawk trophy with pride!

Oktoberfest - its here!  I love it!  The cool weather greets me every morning as I take my dog out, leafs are turning auburn, orange and yellow.  Its one of the best experiences of the year.  And what better way to enjoy a cool Autumn evening than with an authentic Oktoberfest brew.

Hacker-Pschorr is one of the best Oktoberfest Marzens on the market today. Its within the top three examples of authentic Oktoberfest according to the BJCP style guidelines.  Other than actually attending Oktoberfest, it would be rather difficult to find a beer as authentic as what I have in front of me today.

The bottle is straight-up Oktoberfest.  Light blue and white checkers behind a beer wench riding a giant Clydesdale.  The coloring is a very clear amber underneath a thin white head.  The aromas are malty sweet and a bit smokey with a caramelized undertone.  Very inviting.  The flavors mimic the aromas with a solid malt base and caramelized malty accent.  Extremely smooth and easily drinkable.

Overall - A fantastic example of the Oktoberfest style.  This is one that you can drink a number of liters of. And thats the point!  If an Oktoberfest is too big, its not within the style.  You want an Amber Marzen to be one that can be consumed throughout the day without feeling like you want to fall face-first into a gutter.  Hacker Pschorr's Original Oktoberfest hits the spot on this wonderful college football day (GO ISU!).  Grab a 12 pack for your next tailgate, you wont regret it.
