Berkshire Oktoberfest

Brewed by Berkshire Brewing Co.
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
South Deerfield, Massachusetts USA

22 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a moderate off-white head that lasted through the first third of the glass and left very little lace. Very light aroma of malt. Thankfully, more flavorful than the aroma suggests with ample malt with just a touch of sweetness. There is a bit of an alcohol flavor in the aftertaste. Medium bodied. This is a solid Oktoberfest beer despite its low overall rating.

22 oz. bottle. Pours an amber/orange color with a 1/2" off white head. Nose is heavy with malt. Fairly smooth palate with a moderate amount of carbonation. Medium bodied. Taste is heavy on the malt with some slight spice.

My favorite Oktoberfest beer this year is hands down from BBC. I have had it everywhere from Eli Cannon’s to bottles and beer fests. There is a slightly more present sweetness to this version than others which I think goes over very well. Oktoberfests can tend to be a little...blah..but the malt and sweet aftertaste of this one works well.

pors a dark red or amber orange. smells sweet and malty, not much to the aroma. Tastes of spices, caramel, malt and autumn. The flavor an palte of this beer really remind you of the leaves changing and falling, sweatshirt weather and halloween.

On tap at Eli Cannon’s. Some confusion wiht the style. Malty and pretty sweet. Good overall.

This beer is full of malt and yeast and has a bitter taste. Thought that it was going to be good but was disapointed.

Poured a rather dark color for a lager, almost looked like some brown ales that I have seen and it has a nice head to boot. The aroma is also pretty nice. Heavy on the malts. The taste however did not do it for me. It tasted like there was more alcohol in it than there really was. It was kind of sweet, but almost in a bad way. Overall, everything about the beer told me that it was gonna be good and then it fell very short.

(Bottle). Tangy sweet/sour aroma. Copper color, light tan head. Flavor is sweet/sour, full of malt and yeast, then develops into a finish that is primarily malty sweet, but not unpleasantly so.
