Paulaner Oktoberfest (pack of 12) (6%)

Paulaner Oktoberfest is a 12-pack of Munich festbier brewed at 6% ABV by Paulaner Brauerei. The brewery traces its origins to 1634 and brews under the Reinheitsgebot. The beer is a bottom-fermented lager built on Pilsner malt and Munich malt, hopped with Herkules for bittering and Hallertauer Tradition for aroma, with water drawn from a subterranean source roughly 190 metres below ground. The nose shows toasted grain, lightly bready malt, herbal and gently spicy hop character, with grassy hops and citrus peel as it warms. The palate is smooth and malt-forward, with toasted bread and restrained toffee sweetness, balanced by peppery hop spice and moderate bitterness. The finish is medium in length with a drying quality, lingering toasted cracker and a whisper of caramel.
