3.5 stars out of 5
Brewed and bottled in Brooklyn, NY. Bought at HEB in Cinco ranch, TX and drunk at home in Katy, TX while making dinner of Prego spaghetti sauce enhanced with sautéed chopped turkey, onions and mushrooms served over a bed of Market Basket tortellini. Quite delicious. I’ve been finishing a 12 pack of the quite bland and uninteresting Noche Buena (see October 22, 2011) so I needed a beer that had a little more character. Fortunately this beer hit the spot.

The web site says “Available from August through October. When Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria wanted to celebrate his wedding engagement in 1810, he did what any good Bavarian prince would do … He threw a beer festival. Both 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, full bodied and malty, with a bready aroma and light, brisk hop bitterness.”
A nice description that adequately describes the beer. I enjoyed the slight hop bitterness, it made for a crisp beer with a little bite that was very pleasant on my palate.
