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 copper amber in color with an offwhite head. Aroma is toasty, bready, and very floral. This beer has a sweet malty note to the flavor which is offset beautifully by a crisp hoppy bite. It has a medium body, is relatively easy drinking, and had a clean smoth finish.

Dark copper, clear; thin, white head. Hints of malt and caramel in the aroma. Malt flavors, hints of caramel. Medium bodied. An ok Oktoberfest.

Amber, very nice color. Off white head. Toasty, biscuity, cookie, grainy malt and a clean, earthy, bitterness. Clean, bitter, dry finish. Great malt flavors complemented by bitter hops. Easy to drink. Medium body, balanced carbonation. Underrated. Great fest beer.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Slightly hazy amber with a small, foamy, light tan head. The head disappears pretty quickly. No lacing left behind. Aroma: Malt, light caramel and toasted notes. A little fruitiness too? Taste: Malty and fruity (no doubt about the aroma now), very fruity. Grapes and green apples. Lacking any kind of balancing hop bitterness. Very average at best and certainly not to style. Palate: Medium-low, smooth carobonation with a medium, slightly slick mouthfeel. Medium, fruity finish. Overall: It’s a lager, but I don’t know if I would call it a Marzen. Not really to style and only slightly better than average.

Malty but not too sweet, nice enough. I prefer Marzens with more hops than this one - didn’t get the hoppy snap at the end which I like.

Has a clear amber color. Aroma is mostly of malts and aluminum. Taste is your basic Oktoberfest. Full of malts. Has a little bit of a citrus aftertaste. Nothing special.
