Tenaya Creek Oktoberfest

Oct. 09 Nice amber color. smells sweet, taste was malty up front and hint of hops at the finish. good easy drinking beer.

A nice almost hoppy aroma actually. Flavor has a nice light bite and slight creaminess to it. Seems like it maybe doesn’t quite follow the style but it certainly an enjoyable beer.

2004’s batch came out quite excellent in my opinion, goes down easy with excellent taste in the oktoberfest way. More sweet and lightly carbonated than anything, but if I’m not mistaken that’s how oktoberfestbier is supposed to be. I think the abv had to be higher than normal oktoberfest beer in this though because it was quite potent stuff.

Clear and medium amber. Creamy and smooth with moderate carbonation. Sweet and grainy malts with some toast and a little caramel. Not bad, but a little too sweet for me. And the bitterness couldn’t really keep up.

Crystal clear amber with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, some earthy, mild bitterness. Light-medium body.

Sample at brewpub. So-so nose. Sweet. Carmel and little fruity. Clean orange color. Bittersweet flavors. Carmel, little burnt grapefruit notes too. Thin body,not creamy, but not watery either. Bitter burnt finsh. Tasty brew, though maybe out of style.

The other 2 people who rated this are on crack! This beer rocks, just like all of Tenaya's! Nice deep orange. Nice head. Sweet aroma. Excellent caramel malt flavors. Super beer.

Slight caramel malt taste with a cereal finish....didnt set well in my hole.
