Commercial Description:
Oaktoberfest is a true German Marzen bier brewed with premium imported Pilsner and Vienna malts and is spiced with Bavarian hop from the mother land. Light Amber in color, soft malty profile, full bodied lager beer. Fermented with the famous Bavarian Augustiner Lager yeast from Munich. We utilized German Hallertauer Traditions for both bittering and aroma additions adding a rich, noble hop presence to this beer.

Lovely orange/brown color. Very rich taste. A little on the sweet side and a little sparkly. Well rounded with nice amount of warming alcohol.

Draft @ Pacific Coast Brewing. Pours a clear, tarnished orange color; off-white head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Bland aroma of basic maltiness and no hop character to speak of. Lively, solid carbonation: candy sugar, oranges, touches of lightly syrupy honey; unbalanced, sweet with just a bit of acidity trying to hold things together. Basic, bland Oktoberfest. Medium finish: lasting sweetness, candied oranges, and a light mineral bitterness.

Draft at Toronado. Amber color, off white head. Aroma is lightly malty, lightly hoppy, caramel. Taste is a light roasty maltiness, earthy, light caramel.

Clear light orange with a fizzy white head. Slightly citrus hops aroma. Sweet malt nicely balanced with a hoppy spicy kick.

On tap @ Beachwood BBQ. Clear medium amber with a creamy one finger off-white head.Biscuity malts and pasta up front in the nosewith some subtle oak and faint sulfur. Flavor adds some floral hops. This seems very pilsenery to me. The finish is semi-dry with bitterness @ a 2-3. Light body with moderate carbonation. Pretty good--I figure it to be an amber pils, not really a Vienna.

On tap at City Beer Store in SF. Pretty average beer in the Oktoberfest style. Pretty nice appearance. Orangish color, white head. Malty and oaky aroma. Taste is light malt, oak, and some Noble hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is a little watery, but not more so that you’d expect for the style. I could take it or leave it.

On tap at Carlsbad Pizza Port. Pours a clear orange/amber with white head. Sweet malt, caramel, bread, and a small amount of hops (not much). Really easy to drink and tastes pretty good, although it’s nothing special.
