Commercial Description:
Octoberfest's decidedly malty flavor comes from a generous portion of Vienna Malts. The maltiness is balanced by German and Czech Republic noble hops for dryness. The balance between the malt and the hops and the long, cold (30 degrees F) maturation process make this an exceptionally drinkable beer.

Poured a clear orangish amber with a thin tan head that went down to just a film. The aroma was very mild and just a bit of sweetness. The flavor was also very light with just a hint of sweetness and it rolled into a slightly dry finish. In general just an average beer.

Pours a clear, light amber color with a small white head. Sweet aroma of caramel and malt. Slightly sticky mouthfeel gives way to more sweet malts and caramel, with a buttery finish. Not my favorite style, but not bad...

Bottle. Pours orange amber with a white head. Sweet aroma with honey and an almost fruity quality. The flavor is also sweet with caramel, butterscotch and a light toasty quality. A very nice example of the style.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine in Richmond. Pours a clear red color with a medium head. Low retention and lacing. Slightly corny malt aroma with some caramel notes. Big grain, cereal, bread notes along with some grassiness. Medium body.

Draught at Old Dominion Brewhouse, Washington DC
Light amber color. Some malt aroma, some malt, caramel and cereals flavor, medium body, light residual sweetness, correct bitterness... very simple, it reminds me some bottled Amber from Europe, not an Oktoberfest.

pours a decent looking amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is super malty and sweet. A little bit of biscuit and bread dough. Flavor is more of the same. Pretty clean finish, but just a touch on the sweet side. Definitely better octoberfests out there.

Typical American ice cream parlor flavored brewery stuff. Not real beer by European standards. No head, sweet and sticky metallic aftertaste. Dark amber in color, sweet smell.

aroma is sweet and malty with a hint of hops as well as some biscuit and breadiness. pours dark copper with an offwhite head. flavor is rich and malty but dry enough to not be cloying. nicely balanced with hops. medium bodied, quite a nice take on the style.
