Divine Barrel Brewing Oktoberfest

What the brewers say

“Medium-bodied, rich malt character, touch of hops for balance. Dry finish.”

What our panel thought

“Slightly sweet with a somewhat reserved malt backbone. An interesting earthy note comes out toward the end. Bitterness is somewhat heavy; rough around the edges.”

What our editors thought

“Brilliant coppery-red color, good beige foam. Restrained aroma, light caramel. Sweetish flavor, lively on the palate, moving toward a dryish finish. Mellow bitterness helps to balance. Bitterness lingers and sticks a bit. Leans sweet and malty with some bigger flavors, yet balanced overall.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Creature Comforts Brewing Co. Oktoberfest

“Slightly sweet bread and mellow caramel malt greet the nose; some slight savory notes. Lightly sweet flavor is checked by a firm bitterness. Smooth, clean, and rich, with a nice balance of hop bitterness versus sweetness. Some lingering astringency.”

Cerebral Brewing Anomaly Detection

“In the aroma, light floral and herbal hops. Hint of orange and pear. Moderate levels of fresh bread dough and bread crust. Malt flavor is mostly biscuit and pie crust with a bit of caramel. Light pear, orange, and orange-peel notes. Finish is a touch sweet. Medium- low bitterness balances.”

Divine Barrel Brewing Czech Pils

“Clean, crisp bitterness dominates. Grassy hop nose with a touch of sulfur. Lean-bodied, firm bitterness with a burst of lemon hop flavor quickly disappears into an off-dry finish. Dry and lean, crisp with a hint of graininess as it warms.”
