Commercial Description:
We make this beer several months before the harvest so it can age properly. Millstream Oktoberfest is similar to the our Munich style Schild Brau, but is stronger, maltier, and darker in color. A truly special beer, to celebrate the harvest, an important part of life here in Amana.

One of my favorite beers from Millstream. Nice color and head, and a great smooth taste. This is one of those beers that goes down a little too easily, you’ll be through your third before you even realize it.

On Tap at brewery. Reddish amber in color with a beige head. A nice malty, toasty aroma. Caramel, a hint of chocolate,a bit of hops, not overly sweet. A classic version

From a 12 oz. twist cap stubby brown bottle with a notched bottle date, September, along the right side of label, fall ’06 release. Poured a cloudy reddish/orangey brown with a foamy topped, creamy light tan head that settled into a thin lacing. Aromas of toasted grains, sweet caramel, a brief whiff of alcohol and a subtle floral hop. Good, even carbonation for an Oktoberfest and a malty crisp, dryish, creamy smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. Delicious Oktoberfest taste, toasted grain, sweet caramelized malts, a light sweet breadiness as well, the hops have a spicy, honey-like quality that cut underneath the malts and adds to the flavor, a very brief flash of alcohol towards the end and a dry grainy and malty finish. The best American Oktoberfest I’ve had this fall, fresh tasting and an easy, quaffable drinkability, I purchased two sixes of this and I am going to have to go back for more. I have to agree with the other reviews, get this was it’s fresh. Another example that Millstream knows what they are doing when it comes to German style lagers.

Not too much aroma. This is nice. Has a crisp dry bite up front but with a fair amount of malty sweetness. Yum.

12oz shorty bottle. Filtered orange-amber color with a fluffy off white-head. Classic Oktoberfest aroma, deep malts and noble hops. Bitter upfront, but quickly fades into a sweet creamy finish. Quite an excellent example of the style, certainly a tad underrated thus far. Medium bodied, lots of thick malt tones. Almost an orange-vanilla yeasty creaminess. Clean, fresh, and full of flavor. Solid.

Bottle. Malty sweet aroma. No visible carbonation. Copper body. Small, off-white ring. Full bodied marzen. Pretty good balance with some sweetness. A little over carbonated, but this brew followed a several day old growler of Little Apple Prairie Pale Ale which was somewhat flat. Not bad at all. Even has a hint of hops.
