Commercial Description:
For thousands of years, fall has been a time of plenty ~ plenty of food and plenty of good brew, carefully crafted in anticipation of one heck of a party. If summer is exercise, bikini diets, and baking in the sun; fall is recliner Sundays, cheese in a can, and basking in the glow of a robust, flavorful brew like Dundee Oktoberfest. So in the fall, be full-bodied. After all, as much as we love bikinis, there is a lot to be said for cheerleader sweaters.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Deep amber color with a large, foamy, light tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma: Big malty nose with notes of caramel, nuts, and toast. Not to style, but not bad. Taste: Metallic with weak caramel notes. I should have known better than to expect something good from this bunch. It also has a light bitterness in the back. Palate: Medium, smooth carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a short, malty finish. Overall: A less than mediocre marzen that isn’t worth giving a try.

Bottle. A clear amber color pour with a thin white head that quickly fades , some lacing left behind. Aroma is sweet caramel , toasty ,with some faint wood notes. Flavor is malty ,sweet caramel and bread dough , some lite spice . Medium body with a crisp mouthfeel , medium carbonation with a malty sweet finish . Quite sessionable and better that expected.

Orangey amber pour with a small filmy head. Aroma is Sweet caramel and some fruitiness. Overly sweet and a bit grainy. Not so good

On tap for growler fills at Half-Time. Pours a clear orange with a medium white head. Smells very sweet, with some faint honey and pear notes. Medium bodied, grainy and cloying. Finishes up with some more grain and a bit of acrid bitterness. Tough to drink, unpleasant.

Dundee Oktoberfest is a crystal clear, sparkling amber beer with an off white film of a head that dissipates and leaves great lacing on the glass. There’s not much aroma to it. It smells a little sweet and pretzely. It has a medium body and a chewy finish that’s a little chalky. It tastes pretzely and mellow. There’s a tiny touch of sweetness that’s well balanced with a green, leafy bitterness. Yup, Oktoberfest.
