Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest 2019 - Bitburger

This 6.0% ABV beer is Sierra Nevada Brewing's 2019 take on the Oktoberfest style, brewed this year in collaboration with Germany's Bitburger brewery.

The beer pours a bright amber and orange in color. There is a half-inch of light tan head. The aroma is malty, grassy, a bit of caramel and nut. The taste follows the aromas, a perfect blend of sweet caramel malt and grassy bitter hops. There is sweetness, breadiness, but the finish is mostly dry and fairly bitter. The beer drinks with a crisp and refreshing carbonation. This is a very, very good one!
