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.

Enjoyed at Ciceros. Pours copper color with a small tan head. That head never changed throughout. Not a big aroma but sweet malt and just a hint of spice. Flavor was very much malt based with some fainter hops and light spice. Feel was very thick and active in the mouth.

Not bad, but not my favorite for this style. The finish hints at diaceteyl and overall it’s a bit too bitter for me and missing that big malt backbone you’d hope for.

Orange-amber pour into thick foamy pale yellow head that fully dissipates into a ring of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malty rye bread and sweet citrus. Inital flavor of citrusy malt fading into a short-lasting peppery hoppy bite with a sweet lingering finish.

Pours a medium gold color. Small to medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel and toffee and sweet. The malts are caramel with some fruitiness. The hops are slightly spicy and a touch earthy. Nice carbonation. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with some lingering caramel flavors.

(Bottle) Amber colour with frothy, beige head leaving traces of lacing. Malty, slightly fruity nose with caramel, syrupy bread, citrus, orange peel and toffee. Malty, spicy taste with bread, orange peel, toffee and citrussy hops. Medium body, not overly sweet, turns drier in a medium bitter finish with spicy, citrussy hops. Nice and well balanced, somewhere in between the classic German oktoberfestbeers and the hoppier, darker American versions. Nice one.
