Passific Brewing’s “POLKA”
Magic Hour Kyodo is currently pouring “POLKA” from Passific Brewing. The beer is an Oktoberfest-style lager, known for its deep orange color and pronounced malt character.
Oktoberfest beers are associated with Munich’s famous beer festival. One of the style’s historical roots is Märzen, a beer whose name refers to March in German. Traditionally brewed in spring and stored for an extended period, Märzen was enjoyed around the autumn festival season and became closely linked with Oktoberfest beer.
“POLKA” builds on that malt-forward tradition while using a more generous amount of hops. The firm malt body supports the hop bitterness, allowing the beer’s aroma and flavor to spread across the palate. Compared with many Oktoberfest beers, which often keep hop character relatively restrained, this interpretation offers a clearer bitter edge and a fuller overall impression.
Its combination of rounded malt richness and hop bitterness makes it a satisfying beer for slow sipping. The seasonal character also suits the transition into autumn, offering a chance to enjoy both the beer itself and the brewing history behind the style.
Magic Hour Kyodo is a beer pub located in the basement of Central Kyodo in Setagaya, Tokyo. For craft beer drinkers looking to explore an Oktoberfest-style beer with a more noticeable hop presence, “POLKA” is a compelling pour to seek out.
