Becks Oktoberfest

Brewed by Brauerei Beck & Co./Becks (InBev)
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Bremen, Germany

Not a spicy as a traditional oktoberfest. Pours a light orangeish color. Lightly spiced with mild hops. A very easy to drink oktoberfest

Copper pour, medium head and lace. Skunky sweet aroma. Nice fizz and a pleasant green bottle skunk. Overly sweet phlegmy caramel comes in at the end and lingers after swallowing. A hint of maple and brown sugar. Fair.

Clear, reddish-amber color, small white head. Aroma of soggy grains with some citrusy hops. Basic malt flavors - nothing to write home about. Thin, light bodied with a long, bitter finish.

Situation: Spackle and paint after PSU’s fourth victory--time to celebrate! Glassware: Ayinger becker... Appearance: hearty orange-brown body with a thick, nearly three-finger head that streaks evenly down the glass--a strong showing for a macro... Aroma: sharp ping of Saaz and maybe Munich malts--but with the characteristic Beck’s nostril hook that both pleases and seizes; a few odd hints of dough... Palate: easy drinking with malty softness working for it; biscuit malts may be the doughy culprit... Taste: medium bodied with as much effervescence at the throat as absence of hop character at the teeth; not really a developed profile, but a pleasant picture to drink in... Overall: As with all Beck’s, this beer is a pleasure to pound for a price that is just slightly beyond the other lesser macros; works as a fall fallback if nothing more solicitous can be secured...

Pours a nice amber/orange with a nice creamy head. Aroma is hoppy/wheat-like. Taste is suprisingly crisp with a clean finish. Not a bad Märzen.

I found this Oktoberfest above average. From the bottle. Nice amber pour with a medium head. Pleasant aroma of lightly sweet malts and just a hint of hops. Mild flavor and not too complex, but very drinkable. Some nice caramel notes over a malty backbone. Finish is smooth with a sublte malt aftertaste. Not bad for a macro.

Bottle, pours a clear copper beer with a light brown head. Aroma is light hoppy and malt. Flavor is crisp and balanced, very clean and a medium dry finish.

Mild to medium aroma of yeast/bread dough and orange rind. Red-orange in color and clear with nice lacing. Matly sweetness on the palante, nicely balanced with medium bitter and sour notes and a long finish. Medium-bodied with a nice texture balance between creamy and lively carbonation. Overall, a nice easy-drinking autumn beer. Not my first choice, but far from my last.
