BATTERY STEELE OKTOBERFEST

Battery Steele's Oktoberfest is a seasonal Märzen-style lager that embodies the rich brewing traditions of Germany, crafted with a distinctly American touch in the heart of Maine. This beer brings to the table an inviting malt profile, which is a hallmark of the Märzen style, highlighted by a subtle caramel and toasty undertone. The traditional German malts impart a deep amber hue and a well-rounded body, making each pour a visual delight that sets the stage for the taste experience that follows. Expect a balanced bitterness, with an IBU of 20, that complements the malt sweetness rather than overpowering it, allowing the noble hops to shine with their characteristic earthy and floral notes. At 5.8% ABV, this lager offers a medium body and a smooth finish, making it an ideal companion for autumnal festivities without the weight of higher-alcohol brews. It's a beer that welcomes both the seasoned craft aficionado and the curious newcomer, offering a delightful nod to its German roots while embracing its American craftsmanship. For an optimal tasting experience, serve this Oktoberfest lager at a temperature between 45-50°F in a traditional dimpled mug or a wide-rimmed stein, which will allow the aromas to develop fully and the flavors to unfold with each sip. Its malt-forward profile pairs beautifully with traditional German fare such as bratwurst, pretzels, and schnitzel, but it’s equally suited to complementing a hearty American barbecue or a robust fall cheese platter. Whether you're raising a glass to celebrate Oktoberfest or simply savoring a well-crafted lager, Battery Steele's Oktoberfest is an essential seasonal delight.
