Spaten Münchner Hell

Münchner Hell is a Helles lager sold as Spaten Premium Lager in the USA. Eh! It is Ok but nothing great. Perhaps a good summer lawnmower beer. As Rachel Ray would say, "Its wet and its cold.

Spaten Oktoberfestbier Ur-Märzen

Festbier v. Märzen

After drinking this and Weihenstephaner I have decided that Spaten is a titch too heavy and lacks complexity. Rating of 4 glasses is perfect.

Oktoberfestbier Ur-Märzen is a delightful Oktoberfest. Easy, easy drinking. A nice example of what folks in Munich are drinking as I write. Spaten is one of six official brewers at Oktoberfest.

I like it better than the raters @ BeerAdvocate.

Rating = (at least) 4 glasses.

Spaten Optimator

My first review in the new year. I am drinking the 5th bottle in the six-pack. The beer continues not to impress. Too much malt flavor. I am downgrading the rating. I wonder if the problem is the beer or the style.

Nice caramel malt. Rating of 4 glasses is perfect.

Opimator is a fine doppelbock. It features caramel malts. I picked up a six pack in a case sold in Cosco. I remember it being a favorite and it failed to meet my expectations. It needs more humph and complexity.

Rating = 4 glasses.
