F: Light and crisp and easy drinking

O: This is a perfect festbier for imbibing lots of it.

Had this on tap at the Augustiner tent at the 2024 Oktoberfest. Pours a really nice looking yellow color, completely clear, with a decent fluffy white head that laced the glass nicely on the way down. Smells of perfectly toasted malts, some sweetness and oakyness to it. The taste is just as good as the aroma, great toasted malt mix with a toasted malt backbone, some smooth oaky flavors, crisp hop finish. It's clean, it's crisp yet smooth, possibly the best of the ones at the festival? Hard to say, but overall, great beer.

I tried several 0.5L steins of this beer off the tapper at Augustiner restaurant near the Brandenburg gate in Berlin. It poured a clear golden with white head that eventually dissipated and did not leave much lace. The scent had grain and malt notes. The taste was nicely balanced an easy to drink with grain presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

Notes via stream of consciousness: It’s poured a clear golden colored body beneath a finger’s width of dense white foam. The head held well but slowly dropped to a thin but solid surface covering, and left solid sheets of lacing about the glass. The aroma is clean and straightforward with grainy/grassy malt with just a hint of floral hops. The flavor follows. It’s clean, lightly sweetish, and bready/doughy with touches of grass, flowers, and light spice. There’s also a very light, underlying, apple-like fruitiness. The bitterness is moderate and just balancing, and along with the alcohol that’s there (6.3% although you don’t notice it), it finishes mainly dry and refreshing. In the mouth it’s medium bodied and just slightly dextrinous. As is almost always the case with German beers, the carbonation is very-fine bubbled, and seemingly natural which leaves it gently crisp upfront and then smooth once warmed. I’m in love with these Weisn’ biers, and although my favorite is probably from Paulaner (it has a little more hops), this one is great as well. I think that we really need to have two style designations now as this is clearly not what most people expect from an “Oktoberfest” bier, and yet this is what everyone is actually drinking in the tents! And this is just a side-note, but damn, I love these Germans and their beer culture - a half liter bottle of this for €1,22 is an incredible deal. After converting the current Euro to American dollars, and based simply on fluid ounces, that would make a standard American case of this beer (without the extra shipping and everything) cost a whopping $24.19! Wow!
Review #7,515

 

look: two finger white head which dissipates quick enough to a thin layer of bubbles, lot of lacing, beer is a clear golden colour with lots of fast moving carbonation within the beer.

smell: smells alright, not much, all malt, bready, biscuity, grassy, lightly sweet, caramel, a little floral, alright.

taste: not bad, nice malt flavour, bordering on rich, biscuity, white bread, a hint of unami flavour, grassy, lightly to moderately sweet, a little metallic on the finish, malt flavours linger, it’s ok.

feel: medium bodied, medium carbonation, really drinkable, crushable, crisp, smooth, refreshing, what you want a lager to be.

overall: standard stuff really, expected a little more to be honest, drinkable beer though.
