Spaten's Oktoberfest - sample many times over the years, one of the gold standards in my opinion.

(Keg at Oluthuone Haka, 20251010) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had honey, grass and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, honey,, grain and bitterness. Aftertaste had honey, grass and bitterness. A tasty malty brew with deep flavours.

Jasnozłota barwa, klarowne, piana intensywna, opada bez śladu na szkle. W aromacie wyczuwalne nuty słodowe oraz delikatna ziemistość. W smaku bardzo podobnie do aromatu, ziołowa goryczka na średnim poziomie, alkohol niewyczuwalny, nasycenie na średnim poziomie.

50cl bottle as "Spaten Münchner Hell". Crystal clear gold, small white head. Aroma of bready malts, grains. Taste of bready malts, grains, hint of grassy hop, straw, light sweetness, moderate bitterness. Light bodied. Very crisp and clean, but rather boring. Evidently not as sweet as it apparently used to be.

Very clear beer with rather high head.
Not too much is going on in the aroma, besides milk scent, and some sweat hints in the background. Not too bothering though. Maaaaybe some red fruits, berry-like.
Tastes good though! It's actually bitter. Between medium and high level. A bit surprising if you ask me. There's also malty counterbalance.
Body-wise, it's between medium and full body.
