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.

Pour is a clear tan with a large white head. Aroma is typical caramel and toasted white bread. Flavor is about the same but very light and a bit watery. Typical oktoberfest but everything here is a bit on the light side. Like most from this brewer, decent but nothing that is going to set the world on fire.

12 oz bottle courtesy of my mother in law. BB Dec 20 printed on bottleneck. The pour is a clear golden copper with a ton of carbonation bubbles building up to a one inch light tan head. The aroma is caramel malt, nice toasty bread and some light floral. The taste is the malt, which has some apple sweetness to the caramel bread toast. Finish is dry with the floral. The palate is medium bodied with active carbonation and the softly Sweet floral finish. Solid take.

Long a favorite of mine, I burned out on Oktoberfests of any kind a couple of years ago, too many in too short a period. Ready to get back in the saddle. I have a Brooklyn Brewery version in hand that was picked up singly at the nearest craft beer shop today. The top is popped and I pour into my .47 liter New Belgium snifter. It delivers a nice amber-copper liquid along with a fleeting light tan top. Plenty of decent carbonation in any case. The nose is caramel and wheat bread. A drink gives up grain, malt and a mild bitterness. Not bad, I believe there are others that are better.

12 ounce bottle. Brilliant copper color. Large rocky beige head. Toasted malt nose with a sweet, biscuity nuance. Lightly sweet, caramel flavor upfront. A hint of spicy, grainy malt and grassy hops. Though it looks, smells and tastes like a Marzen Bier, it lacks the depth and character of its German lineage.
