Peak Brewing to Re-Release Hop Harvest Oktoberfest
28 Sep 2015 --- Portland, ME – Peak Organic Brewing is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated re-release of their newest Fall seasonal, the Hop Harvest Oktoberfest. As harvest season is in full swing, Peak is adding flair to a classic style, showcasing a ripe and bright mix of hops within a classic Oktoberfest.
The Hop Harvest Oktoberfest draws on a Germanstyle lager, using a balanced blend of Munich and Caramel malt that provide a bready, toasty character as well as a light sweetness in the body. The beer is defined, however, by its complementary hop character showcasing Simcoe, Chinook, Centennial, and a touch of Citra hops in the dryhopping phase. Notes of fruit and spice burst through the aroma of the beer, but the finish is phenomenally crisp and dry.
