Brooklyn Oktoberfest was introduced in 2000. It is true to the original German style, full-bodied and malty, with a bready aroma and light, brisk hop bitterness. When Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria wanted to celebrate his wedding engagement in 1810, he did what any good Bavarian prince would--he threw a beer festival. Bothe the festival and the special beer served there became known as Oktoberfest. Brewed from the finest German malt and hops, Brooklyn Oktoberfest is true to the original style, fullbodied and malty, with a bready aroma and light, brisk hop bitterness.

From tap at Brooklyn Brewery, New York. Brown-ish malt aroma with caramel, dark bread, notes of dried and stewed fruits, some toffee. Medium sweet, light to moderate bitterness.

2023 edition (5.5% ABV). Pours a clear copper colour and a frothy light beige head. Aroma's: malty, a bit fruity, fruit candy. Retronasal it's malty, a bit stale, herbs. Flavour is light sweet with a hint of bitter. Light bodied. Proper carbonation. Finish is slightly dry with just light bitterness.

12oz can. Deep malty caramel. Not really spot on for the style, malts are a little earthy and imperfect. Aroma isn't that pleasant. Overall a pretty lackluster offering, weak example of the style.

A festbier in märzen’s clothing. Dark color is märzen-ish, but the light breadiness and green/floral hoppiness skew towards its October cousin. Splits the middle between the two styles, and excels in neither.

Pours amber with a thin white head. Aroma of sweet malt, oak. Taste has lightly hopped malt base with the typical Pilsen-type sweetness. Palate has a nose element that’s hard to describe, typical of Brooklyn lager. Some continuity between the two.
