Aug 14, 2007 Very suprised this isn’t rated higher. I love the Oktoberfest beers and I’ve had many in my day and this one is still my favorite. One of the few beers my father and I agree on being top of the line!

Sep 8, 2003 Updated: May 29, 2004Just as good as Capital Fest. Marzens must just be my cup of tea. I don't know what years you other guys have had for Oktoberfest. 2003 is great. I'm going to stockpile this. I really really like it. Downgrading this one just a little bit. Fest however is still the best.

Sep 7, 2002 This stuff is great, one of the best marzens i have ever had. It is full and flavored, but not too heavy.

Sep 16, 2008 Totally against the grain for this. When I think Oktoberfest, I think of pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and a brew that is a resemblance of that. This one does an awesome job of balancing pumpkins, sweet potatoes (tho might be brewed with them, the flavor of them is there), malts, caramel, and yeast. Pour is a deep orange with an off white head. Mouthfeel is medium, decent carb, and finishes semi-sweet. This impressed me big time.

Oct 10, 2008 I’m surprised at the conflicting ratings... there might be some QC issues?? Rich orangey bronze color with amazing clarity, thin soapsud head and scant lace. Props for a stunning label. Absolutely amazing toasted malt nose evokes pie crust and cheerios. Flavor mimics and surpasses the aroma, adding hints of toasted pumkin seeds and the clean earthy sense of logs rotting in a damp forest. That’s only the second or third "10" for taste I’ve given in 400+ ratings. The beer finishes with the gentlest kiss of bitterness and an impression of stewed fruits. A merely adequate palate… a little flabby and “stale” … is my only complaint. Probably the finest ’fest I’ve tasted.

Dec 10, 2006 An American "Oktoberfest" that actually vaguely tastes German. Not quite Spaten but a lot cheaper. Keep it coming, Jake L.!
