Rahr and Son's Oktoberfest:
Guten Tag every one and welcome to the unofficial beginning of Oktoberfest- it actually begins on the 22nd- here in the beer blog world (or at least mine) and today we start local.  One thing to note as begin our adventures through the Oktoberfest beer world is that they are usually modeled after Marzen or Vienna style beers and really they are hard to mess up (though it is possible) and are just the right amount of weight and consistency to make an enjoyable beer.  Today’s brew is brewed right here in the Worth at Rahr and Sons: Rahr’s Oktoberfest, a Marzen style beer.  The beer came in a nice collectable beer stein from a tap so I can tell you it had a nice beige head that wasn’t very long for this world and a nose of roasted malts and sweet caramel notes while the color appears to be a nice light amber.  The beer is very uniform in it’s taste with a triple combo of the roasted malts, sweet caramel and hops all of which work very well together to give you a beer that sits lightly on the palate.  Coming in at 7.5% ABV, this beer is one of those that will sneak up on you and drink a liter or two of it and will definitely be plenty for you to have a good time (I hope).  A great beer from our boys at Rahr and Sons and one that you should hunt down and enjoy while it’s available.
