The Hofbräu tent at the Oktoberfest is known for its lively atmosphere. Here is where the world comes to celebrate. Down Under in Lederhosen. Of course, the most popular folk festival in the world wouldn't be complete without a very special beer: Hofbräu Oktoberfest beer is a full-bodied, bottom-fermented specialty beer. With its fine hoppy aroma, it’s perfect alongside a classic Oktoberfest roasted chicken.

500mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has some stale bready malt and a touch of sweet biscuity notes. Flavour has a rather vegetal character, with stale bready malt and herbaceous notes. Quite vegetal/stale. This isn’t any good.

On tap at Hops, Crewe. Pours dark gold (with a greenish tinge) with a small almost white head and good lacing. The aroma has continental hops and grains. In the mouth it is sweet with a little underlying sharpness and some bitterness after a while. Main flavour is continental hops and bread rolls with hints of spice, grass and honey. Sweetness lasts into the slightly dry finish. This is decent.

From City Brew Tours, best before May 21st 2026
Pours a clear pale gold with a good sized head of foam that shrank quickly. Retention is not so good, minimal lacing.
Smell is bread and toasted malt, fairly light hop bitterness.
Taste is bread, toasted malt, tasty hop bitterness with a little spice. Good overall.
Medium bodied, I like this and have another bottle.
