Commercial Description:
Oktoberfest began in 1810 as a celebration for the wedding of Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese. It is a sweet, strong beer with a full bodied maltiness balanced by hops.

Murky orange beer - very strong fruity and floral characteristics in the aroma - honey sweetness up front, followed by medium bitterness, then the strong fruitiness comes through, as well as a grainy, almost wheaty flavor - a very non-traditional, but sadly, not very tasty, oktoberfest.

I wasn’t happy with this one as I had it tonight. It looked good, it smelled okay, and the first taste was so off. I was expecting greatness, but I got a terrible tasting beer. I couldn’t suggest it to anyone.

Cloudy orange color with a mostly uninspiring head. Aroma had a distinct spice combination to it. Flavor had something of a general fruity/floral aspect to it. All in all it just feels like the flavor gives up too easily, if it had been a little more intense I would have liked it much more.

I had it on tap from the Black Haus’s sampler that they offer. This beer wasn’t a knock out, but definitely one of the better beers that they offer.

Served in a tall mug. Color is dense orange, murky. Looked very nice with slight translucence but a very dense beer with little clarity. Aroma is present - smells spiced, pumpkinny, and has a bite of a sharp bite. Similar in taste but with a fruity aspect as well.
