Ginger, nutmeg, allspice - the trifecta! A bit more intense this year, but not too. Appreciate the malt and dryish finish.

S Taylor is drinking an Oktoberfest - Hoppebräu (2026) by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at Medick Manor
This year’s collab-brewer is Hopperbrau (2010) and SHOCK, the result is an over-hopped Märzenish muddle. Feels like SN should argue as to when we customers will finally see the last of chucking hops onto a grain bill as a demonstration of ‘modernity’?

Super Duper - well, at least the price point! By no means hard to drink … decent malt base and not gonzo saccharine.
