Commercial Description:
Brooklyn Oktoberfest was introduced in 2000. It is true to the original German style, full-bodied and malty, with a bready aroma and light, brisk hop bitterness.

Poured with initial carbonation and then NO head at all. Little to NO lacing. A very boring appearance overall: clear copper colored. Aroma was light, hard to pick up (maybe some bread / barley smells). The flavor was all malt, semi sweet, but lacking any spicing or other oktoberfest character. Some bread and roasted malts detected. Within style, this can be beat, but I found it REALLY drinkable, similar to Smithwick’s in that sense (flavor and drinkability).

pours red-brown and hazy. Aroma is yeasty and sweet. Nice big malty flavor with mild hops finish. Easy drinking and tasty, just mediocre.

Picked this up for $2.99 for a six-pack at Kenny Road Market, Columbus, Ohio. Pours dark brown with a minimal white, fizzy head; head dissipates into a lasting ring; light lacing down the glass. Aroma sweet, bready, and malty with light caramel and flowers. Flavor is a bit more generic, with bread and malt and caramel; barely bitter aftertaste. Medium body. Reasonable for the price I paid.

Bottle. White small head. Unclear dark reddish body. Barley aroma. Flavor of roasted barley malt. Not much bitterness. Sorry mates I had expected more.

Pours amber with a minimal off-white head. Aroma of sweet malts, citrus, and caramel notes. Flavor is malty, caramel, citrusy fruit, and slight bitterness. Ok body, a little disapointing and forgettable.

Pours a clear amberwith no apparent head. Smells of mushrooms. Sweet and slightly almondy. Dry dusty finish. Lively CO2.

12 oz bottle. Clear amber color with bubbly off white head. Strong malty caramel aroma with a hint of salted meat. Flavor is dominated by caramel malt, but there is also a touch of dried cherry. Slightly spicy with a crisp finish.

Bottle. Amber color. Small off-white head, which dissipated to a ring and a little lace on the surface. Aroma was malty with fruity accents. Smooth to the palate, with medium carbonation. Flavors were roasted and caramel malts and hops. Started bitter, but became faintly sweet and spicy. Not an ingenious Oktoberfest brew, but I liked it, as I do most of Brooklyn’s offerings.
