Commercial Description:
This beer is available each autumn in celebration of the great Bavarian festival season. Brewed in late spring and cellared throughout the summer, our Oktoberfest is produced through traditional methods as it has been for centuries in Germany, This copper-hued lager owes its rich malt flavor to a generous combination of select Vienna and Munich malts. Cool, open-fermentation develops a subtle elegance and drinkability suited to any festive occasion.

Bottle Pours a hazy amber with a decent off white head. Leaves a good spotty lacing. Has a good aroma of caramel and hints of green apples. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is good with nice spiciness. Has a watery texture. A medium body. The finish is okay and has a funky kind of stale aftertaste. This is tasty and drinkable.

Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy amber color lager with a medium size foamy head with good retention and not much lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malt is really dominant. Taste is more accentuated then expected with huge caramel malt backbone with nice balancing residual sugar aftertaste. Body is full with some limited filtration and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Very well done for the style with great character.

Bottle. Pours an reddish-amber, somewhat cloudy, with a very thin layer of head that persists. The flavor is of very malty while the aroma is actually quite sweet (in a strong, thick way; like molasses). Not one of my favorite Oktoberfest beers.

12 oz. bottle pours cloudy cinnamon color with frothy off white head that leaves little lacing. Aroma is strong of fermenting apples and caramel with underpinnings of yeast. Front palate is malty with a nutty middle and a tin-like finish. Not one of my favorite Left Hand brews.

Bottle. Moderate nutty and caramel for the malt, light herbs and dough for the hops and yeast, with a hint of honey. Head is small, wispy, white with no lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is slightly hazy orange/tan. Flavor starts lightly to moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly sweet and bitter. Palate is medium, watery but a little slick, and has a soft carbonation. Just what an Oktoberfest is supposed to taste like.
