Hofbrauhaus Seasonal (pack of 6) (5.1%)

A rotating six-pack of seasonal German-style lager from Hofbräuhaus München, one of the world's oldest breweries. The specific style changes with the season, spanning Oktoberfestbier, Maibock and winter specialties, with ABV typically ranging from about 5.1% to 6.3%. Every release is brewed under the Reinheitsgebot, Germany's 1516 purity law permitting only water, malt and hops. Hofbräuhaus München was founded in 1589 by Wilhelm V, Duke of Bavaria, originally as a royal court brewery. Seasonal releases follow the traditional German brewing calendar, with lighter, hoppier styles in spring and summer giving way to richer, maltier expressions in autumn and winter, each fermented and lagered by traditional cold-conditioning methods. Across releases the aroma leads with toasted malt and fresh bready grain, followed by delicate noble hop florals and subtle sweet spice. The palate is clean and malt-forward with balanced grain and restrained bitterness, and the finish is smooth and well-attenuated.
