Draft at Table 22 (Murrysville). Pours a clear copper color, very faint off-white head. Aroma is dominated by malt and a touch of sweet caramel. Sweet malt, caramel and a touch of hops sum up the flavor. A medium to almost thin palate, finishes dry and just vaguely bitter.

Ok for color thogh no head, some elevated malt tastes, but an unattractive earthy metallic note as if it got mixed in with somr other beer of lesser quality.

I can’t figure out what I don’t like about the aroma here. My wife says it smells like fall. I think it smells like mediocore. Look is average, started off with a great head that turns into almost nothing. Taste is light enough but there is not much there. Reminds me of a lighter Boston Lager.

Bottle courtesy MrBunn. Dark orange pour with modest head. Smells like coffee, caramel and funk. Light fruit is the initial flavor, followed by some malt and not much else....pretty watered down.Still not my favorite style.

Amberish pour. Small whitish head. Aroma is malt with some caramel. Flavor is fairly bland and malty. Run of the mill. Skip it.

<b>9/26/2007</b>: Penn Oktoberfest pours pale brown with a dense, foamy, lasting head that leaves good lacing on the glass. The aroma has toast and a soft maltiness. The flavor has caramel, some banana, and a mildly spicy hop finish. It is medium-bodied and smooth on the palate with a good finish. Overall this is a good, flavorful Oktoberfest.

<i>Sample(s) from 12 fl. oz. bottles shared at the September 2007 Jundale Beerklub Tasting. Thanks! Rating #122 for this beer.</i>

Bottle from my hometown thanks to Beerman6686, drank during a Steelers game. Pours a crystal clear copper color with a small white head. A light aroma of grains and some honey. The flavor is pretty decent; sweet grains/wheat and some lightly toasted malts. Pretty simple and crisp. Light hops. Decent.
