easy drinking, slightly malty with a touch of hops. Not too sweet as some other oktoberfests, especially American varieties. Golden color with a touch of amber. Smooth finish.

Pours a deep golden with a substantial white head. Aroma is bread, malt and spicey hops. Crisp clean mouthfeel. Smooth well balanced mix of sweet pale malt caramel and light hoppy bitterness. Very good, but less assertive than other German marzens.

Green glassed bottle. Sweet malty nose leaning corny with subtle grain. Super pale yellow-golden body is a bit sickly, sudsy whitish head. Taste is malty but sickeningly sweet, light corn resolving to a much more productive sugary bread finish. Fizzy soft carbonation, light herbal bitterness, watery body. Have had much worse, but this’ll be the last of these.

Pale light golden color. Aroma is mostly of floral skunked malts. Taste is mainly malts. It has, in the back end, a little honey and grapes. Leaves a little bit of a bitter aftertaste that is due to the skunked nature of this beer. Not a pleasant aftertaste. I’d have to say this seems to be the Miller of the Oktoberfest style.

Bottle. A clear light golden color body with a thick short lasting white head , medium carbonation . Aroma of grassy hops, light bread dough and light skunk notes. Flavor is slightly sweeter than the aroma suggests , cereal grains , floral hops , corn lager , with a hint of honey and hey. Short dry finish,medium body with a crisp mouthfeel . Very drinkable but nothing special .

Serving: 330 ml. bottle. Appearance: Crystal gold color with a large, foamy, white head. The head has decent staying power and lacing. Aroma: A good bit of euro lager, a little paper, and some floral notes. Lighter and less malt aroma than I was expecting. Taste: Toasted malt, a bit of alcohol, some grainy sweetness, and a litter more aggressive bitterness than other Oktoberfests. This one is a little brash and rough around the edges. Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel. Short, slightly sweet finish. Overall: A little on the unrefined side and a little light in the flavor department when compared to it’s peers. Easy drinking and okay, just not the best example of style. Rebuy: No, there are better examples out there.

pours a transparent golden color with a white head. I like the Oktoberfest beer genre, but this one is pretty average. 12 oz bottle
