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.

(Bottle) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, dried apricots, hazelnuts, chocolate, honey, brown sugar and cistrussy hints of hops. Malty, slightly toasted taste with bread, caramel, chocolate, crystal malt and a spicy, slightly orangey bitterness in a fairly short finish. Medium body, fairly short. Not very bitter and mainly dry. A solid, but hardly exceptional, Octoberfest beer.

Tap at OTH. Pours amber, white head. Aroma, is yeasty (bready). Taste, malty, very floral with light hops and some spices. Aftertaste is hoppy with light metalic undertones. SBeer definitely has the Brooklyn signature.

This beer pours a completely transparent amber/orange color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes steadily. Spotty lacing on the glass. Malty nose with touches of caramel and fruit. Medium-bodied and sweet with flavors of caramel malt, grain and bits of cinnamon. The finish is malty with a touch of hops bitterness in the aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.
