Penn Oktoberfest

Aroma is of barley and cherry licquer. Clear dark amber, thin vanishing head. Buckets of cherry flavor with a lesser malt base. Vanilla finish. Thin to medium body. Surprisingly good, especially for the price.

Serving: Draft. Appearance: Clear, orange color with a foamy, off-white head. Aroma: Light nose that has some grain and an off metallic note. Flavor: The metallic note returns in the flavor, slight vegetal notes, a little malt sweetness, and some toast. Not the most tasty brew. Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light, slightly dry mouthfeel and a short finish. Overall: Not my favorite Oktoberfest. The metallic note comes through strongly on both the nose and in the flavor. Skip this one.

Traditional Marzen aroma not sticky sweet, smells like it should... Mouthfeel is a bit strange with small tingling bubbles... Traditional flavors, a touch dry, decent offering... Too heavy to drink in quantity, ABV is felt...

Pours clear copper color with off white head. Caramel malt aroma and flavor. Moderately sweet. Medium body with average carbonation.

Flavor is grainy and slightly metallic, somewhat lacking in depth. A bit on the lame side

Pours a clear golden color with a nice off white foamy head. Aeoma is yeasty. Taste is grainy with a hint of malt. This is an Oktoberfest? National Taste Institute needs to re-taste! Not much going on with this brew.

On tap at Zeno’s Pub - State College, PA. Pours a lightly hazy pale amber orange, with minimal white head. Aroma gives a generic peach and malt fruitiness. Not much there. Wow. This is a really boring Oktoberfest. Slight munich malt caramels, a touch of grain depth, not much there. Generic bland malty beer, slightly thin, with few exceptional characteristics. No chewiness. A light soapy mineral wash in the backend. Worse than ’meh.’

Bottle Pours a light amber body with an off white head. Malty body with a light toffee notes and a light herbal hoppiness. Bread y, grain y and sweet. Didn’t care for this to much.
