Details

Hofbräu München brewery is has existed for over 400 years. Owned by the Bavarian state government, the Hofbräu brewery has had an integral part in forming the heritage of the city of Munich.

Golden in colour and sparkling clear, Hofbräu’s Oktoberfestbier has notes of grainy bread, some lemon, and spritzy hops. A very light taste of sweet malts and some light grassiness, this light-bodied and delicate tasting German lager is a drinkable and decent beer.

The absolute daddy of the Munich breweries imho and possibly the best. A simply stunning version of their celebration bier.

The daddy of all the Munich beers imho and probably the best example of a Celebration bier in the helles style. An absolute beaut! I would give this 6 stars if i could.

Easy drinking golden bier with malt hops and bread aroma . Tasting of malted biscuit vinous fruit and a dry hoppy finish .

Hofbrau's offering is the highest ABV of all oktoberfest lagers, at 6.3%. It goes down surprisingly smooth but tastes very similar to their normal brew - hints of malt, straw, low carbonation. While decent, I'd still recommend Augustiner over this.

Nice Oktoberfest brew

A nice enough beer, but could have been more exciting

Okay, but not different enough from the Hofbrau Original

This Oktoberfestbier is okay, but it is not distinct enough from the 'Hofbrau Original' beer. My least favourite Oktoberfest beer from the 'Munich 6' breweries.

Hofbrau brand lives up to it’s name

Review by Dan 11/10/2018

A strong brew which is reminiscent of a traditional lager. Nothing special but very drinkable. Quite bitter, yet still very refreshing.

Great!

Like most of the Octoberfest selection this is a very easy beer to drink and offers a great taste when served fresh from the fridge and drank from a stein.

Fantastic - must buy October beer!

Hofbrau is a brand living off its name.

Decent beer but bit bland

Review by Andyrobo 11/08/2017

Decent beer with a slight bitterness to the taste. Easy drinking but a lack of taste in my view makes this bland in comparison to other similar German beers.

Easy to drink, sessionable beer that is somewhat light. A niice beer but nothing incredible.
