Left Hand Brewing: Oktoberfest

Left Hand Brewing has been seriously effected by the floods in Colorado right now, including being forced to put out bags of their malted barley in place of sandbags cause it was all they had. It's going to be a tough road back for them, so we should start by buying a 6er of some of their beer.
Left Hand Oktoberfest has the most upfront bite to any Oktoberfest I've had. It has a bit of a resiny smell sitting over sweet breads in the glass. The hit on the tongue is a very strong bite of hops, with a little curdle in the booze from this guy. It's a strong Oktoberfest, up around 6.5% or so, and you can feel the warmth in your chest. The bitterness comes back after the sweetness fades and leaves it sitting on the tongue after it's gone. Definitely the most American of the fest beers I've had so far, with a big beefy hop presence through the beer. Nice interpretation, though I don't know if I could fill a stein with it cause I might not make it through too many of them. Still delicious though.
