Ramstein Oktoberfest

Brewed by High Point Brewing Company
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Butler, New Jersey USA

on tap at 26Mix in Newark NJ. copper color. aroma is mild caramel malt and a little grassy. flavor of toasted malt, some light grassiness, but pretty mild overall.

Bottle sampled. Pours copper with an off-white head. Aroma of caramel, toasted malts, and biscuit. The flavor is sweet, caramel, grain, and toasted malts. ok body, was disappointed over how boring this brew is. Thin bodied, just ok.

Sample. Pours a crisp golden brown with a generous light orange head. Aroma was slight malt with not much else to report. Taste was a bit harsh, with malt dissolving into nothingness. Seemed a bit flat to me and not the wonderful experience you usually find in a good Oktoberfest. I was disappointed.

Draft. A bit disappointing. Right or wrong I expect Oktoberfest to be very drinkable lending itself well to a liter or two. This was a bit flat and left a slightly unpleasant sourness in the mouth.

Draft. After a disastrous experience with their Altbier I had a Ramstein Marzen. Well balanced and a good example of the style. Clear and delicious, malty flavour and medium hops.

Draught: Aroma of malts. Poured amber in color with a medium-sized, foamy, head. No lacing. Clear. Flavor was very earthy and herbal and tasted of malts. Medium body. Average texture. Soft carbonation. Malty herbal finish.

Dark copper color with a little bit of an off white head. Malty and complex, with a nice blend of hops coming through in the aftertaste. Very drinkable and tasty. Well made example of the style. (Another rating I found written down in my notes from Ramstein’s Oktoberfest celebration.)

On tap. Poured a dark copper / brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of toasted malts, caramel, and a little bready. Tastes of toasted nuts, caramel, bread, and I was getting a grassy / wheatiness to it. Finishes on the thin side.
