Commercial Description:
Seductively smooth, this medium-bodied amber beauty is akin to the great Oktoberfest beers of Munich. All German hops make this lager true to style. Patient cold aging makes it wonderfully smooth. In bottles September through February

Poured amber with a white head. Aroma of sweet malt and candy. Sweet caramel malt with some bitterness. Hint of fruit.

Bottle courtesy of GMCC2181 – thanks G! Pours a slightly hazy amber with a half finger off-white head. The nose is caramel and brown sugar. The taste is more caramel, toasted malt and light grassy hops in the finish. Light-to-medium bodied. Decent Marzen – thanks G-Unit.

Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle. Appearance was typical of an Oktoberfest style - brown in hue. The flavor was somewhat of a change from past examples, not necessarily bad, but bordering on being outside of the style. Overall, not the best offering from an excellent brewery.

12oz from the PP CBad BS. for those not in the know that is the Pizza Port Carlsbad Bottle Shop. Pours reddish orange with a tan head. Nose is sweet and malty. Taste is sweet, with a touch of caramel and malt. Overall not bad for the style not great in my opinion.

bottle - Pours clear light amber with a one finger off white head. It has a bready, caramel malt aroma. The flavor is sweet, rich caramel malt with just a touch of fruitiness. it finishes with very mild hops presence. This very quaffable medium bodied brew is a good example of the style.

Pours out a nice clear orangy amber that reminds me of pumpkins and ancient bugs. Also has disappearing white head. Smells like a nice Oktoberfest which is past its prime, which makes sense since this is several months out. It’s got nice sweet malt, roasty, chestnut, and bread notes. The taste is like the aroma good bready malt, with Oktoberfest sweetness. The palate is pretty thin, but enjoyable. Overall this is a fine brew, another good one from Victory.

Bottle. Pours a crystal clear pale brown with some small bubbling. Bready pretzel-like nose with a strong malt character (caramel?). Flavors are very sweet malt. Very simple. Mouth is a little sticky from all the sweetness. Nothing special but an okay brew!
