Commercial Description:
Looking for a fresh take on Oktoberfest beer? Breckenridge Brewery's fall seasonal combines the malty goodness of a German lager with the clean crispness of an American ale.

A pre-winter winner.

Dark amber color, clear, almost no head. Aroma is light maltiness. Flavor - good maltiness, slight caramel. Med-light body. Hops balance, but in the background. Overall, a decent oktoberfest--a little dark and lacking head, but flavor is pretty close. Good drinking beer.

12oz bottle. Pours a dark brown/mahogany with little to no head. Aromas of heavy caramel, roasted malts, and kielbasa (its what im having for dinner), also some walnuts on the nose. Flavor is roasted malt, caramel malt, and some nutty characteristics. Very lite carbonation. Smooth and easy.

Smells like autumn. 12oz bottle. Very dark brown, coffee-like color. Light brown head. Aroma of musty malts, Munich Malt?? yum. smells like fresh fallen leaves. Hints of chocolate. Sweet malts, creamy, hints of chocolate. Slight nuttiness. Very nice hop bitterness, slight woodiness. Smooth finish. medium bodied. This one makes for a better Christmas Beer than Autumn.

Lost the text. In brief reality. A brew that is weak in flavor and substance. Dark bread and some earthy hops.

Dark brown pour with slight orange tinge. Not much head or any lacing. Not too complex enjoyable beer. It was possibly served too cold but opened up a bit after warming. Nice malty aroma. Dark chocolate, coffee, burnt toast. Slight hoppy bitterness after toward end of glass. I’ve not experienced many Ocktoberfest beers, but I’m looking forward to higher quality ones after experiencing this one.

Pours dark brown, no head. Aroma is mostly malty sweetness, with some roastiness and hop. Flavor starts with sweet caramel and molasses, with a slightly roasty finish. Sweetness returns for the aftertaste. Must emphasize that it’s sweet, but not too sweet as many O-Fests are. Medium to full body. Pretty well put together.
