Notes

I was aiming for a sessionable amber pseudolager with a strong malty backbone and a slightly dry bitterness... and that's what I got. Fermented at 61 degrees for about ten days when we had a hot streak that shot it up over 67. Came back down after three days, and stayed around 61 for the remainder of the ferment. It is what the name says: An Oktoberfest inspired Altbier.
