Taste Notes

(Brewed May 26, 2012). The Saaz come through in a big way. Also some subtle esters from the champagne yeast. Pretty good, but definately not a true Oktoberfest brew.

Notes

I used champagne yeast instead of lager yeast since I cannot get to lager temps in my basement, and this strain is very clean and a high attenuator. Sub out with a real lager yeast if you can ferment in the correct temperature range. I was going for an Oktoberfest malt character, with a German Pils hopping (Saaz) character.

Nice malt aroma with crisp hop aroma. Can pick up a hint of toasty character.

Creamy mouthfeel. Malty flavour and aroma upfront and a nice bitterness comes through to finish it off.

Very refreshing.
