Commercial Description:
Originally a party to celebrate the wedding of Crown Prince Luitpold I and Princess Theressa of Bavaria in 1810, this fest and beer style have been celebrated since. We brewed this malty beverage in the German brewing tradition (double decoction mashing) and have been lagering this annual brew for the last 4 months and now it is time to release it to your glass. Orange in color, malty to taste and subtle on hops with a clean lager finish.

Sampled during ABR ’07 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pours a semi-clear golden pale brew with a thin off-white head that has some good retention and lacing. Aroma of sweetened caramel malt and flowery hop character. Taste is medium bodied, very light carbonation with flavors of biscuit and caramel malt with a touch of sweet candi sugar. Finish is quite malty with some flowery hop character.

ABR 2007. Gold color with faint head. Solid roasted malt nose with a little hops. Similar taste and one of the more full bodied Oktoberfests this year.

Draft at the brewpub. Sweet, toasted, biscuity malt aroma. Pours a nice copper with a small head. Decent lacing. Toasted malt, slightly sweet with some nice grassy hops on the finish. Medium bodied. Good Oktoberfest.

This is easily the best oktoberfest I have had this year! Great job Colin. Pours a nice deep golden with a small wispy head. Nice sweet roasted malt and a light floral hoppiness on the nose. Great creamy mouthfeel with a good dose of roasted malt. Great beer.

On tap at the pub. Light malty aroma. A little bit of bitterness, nice palate, but rather bland overall. 2007 update. I notice a little bit of belgian yeast this year.
