Petes Wicked Oktoberfest

Old Notes: Amber pour. Caramel taste. Some earthy undertones. A nice fall beer that I look forward to.

12oz bottle. Poured a deep amber color that was topped by a thin head and had a little lacing left behind. The aroma was slightly bitter and hoppy. The flavor was slightly sweet and well balanced leaning slightly toward hoppy. This beer was light bodied and relativaly smooth. A decent oktoberfest.

Bottle from neighbors fridge. I think it’s been sitting along time. Amberish pour with white head, Mild hop and caramel aroma. This in taste it was an ok oktober fest !

Thin body, light malt flavors, decent head. Slight metallic taste detracts but this is definitely an easy drinking marzen. Not as good as the best Germans, but pretty good.

Had this beer on 10/17/2001. Aroma is metallic with light malt scents. Color is a rich amber with good carbonation and nice head. Taste is malty and mild. Starting with a medium body that goes down with a mellow crisp feel. Finish comes on with a slightly sharp feel and a mild malt flavor, followed by a very light bitterness. Overall its not a stand out brew, but it is very drinkable.

Rated 12/30/05: Definately my favorite of the Pete’s Wicked brews. Great flavor with an even better aftertaste. I have had better octoberfest beers but this one is high up on my list. Just as good if not better than the major imports and it will save you a couple of bucks as well, thank you Pete!

in a word.. boring.. easily forgotten some light malts, some nuts, some blah lager flavors... ordered once and never again.
