It’s a wonderful beer. A wonderfully dangerous beer. In my neck of the woods, there is a huge German American Festival the last weekend of August. Last year canceled for the first time in 57 years. Anyway, they typically have around 20 different German beers on tap and very fresh. Also, they have around 30 different German bottles of beer, every kind of German food, German live music and dancing. They always have Optimator on draft and it’s delicious with big rich Munich malt character and noble hops. One year my buddy and I got a pitcher and shared it. Let’s just say the pitcher went down fast because it has such easy drinkability and the alcohol definitely caught up to me. Lesson learned and if I get it now it is one and done. The best beer that I ever had there was Weihenstephaner Tradition (a Dunkel on the lighter SRM spectrum)which I believe was never or since been to the US. It was sublime and perfect for a sunny afternoon while eating some Weisswurst.
