Karbach Brewing Oktoberfest
What the brewers say
“Bavarian-style märzen, decoction mashed with Vienna and Munich malts.”
What our panel thought
“The luxurious head grants a freshly toasted bread aroma. A sip builds on that impression, adding a light splash of caramel before subsiding into a drier cracker finish with a breath of hops. A bit of alcohol warmth presents the only false note.”
What our editors thought
“Concisely focused nose of lightly toasted bread with sweet Maillard undertones beneath it. The sip is a touch more crisp than most, boxing the nutty, bready malt into a beer that’s easy in, then easy out.”
