Warsteiner Oktoberfest

Brewed by Warsteiner Brauerei
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Warstein, Germany

Slightly skunky aroma. Serve very cold and chilled. Pour correctly. Decent but not great.

Sampled at Famous Liquors Fall /Oktoberfest Tasting in Lombard, IL.. Poured to plastic a golden tone with a white, bubbly foam and fair lacing. The aroma started with a little yeast and German malts, but also presented some cooked corn/DMS notes. The flavor was light malt and slight dryness followed by some fizzy carbonation. Not anywhere close to my favorite on a long list of seasonal samplings that day.

Golden in glass with a white head that does not linger. A hint of butter malt on nose. Lighter in mouthfeel than I would like with a short finish.

On tap at the McKinney Oktoberfest. Clear orange color. Dark malty aroma with a fair sense of German grain. Taste has more Germanic malts than anything. Some bitterness creeps in after. Finish leaves something to be desired.

This is my first beer from this company and the first impression is not enticing. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium dark amber color with a small white head. The aroma was lightly spicy, sour and a bit skunky. The flavor was tangy, bitter and had a touch of caramel and crisp floral hops. The finish was short, tangy and bitter. Blah.

Pours a clear amber-gold color. Thin white head. Aroma is caramel malt. Strong flavor of bread grains, caramel and a touch of honey. Mouthfeel is thin and watery.

Dark golden pour light malty flavor slightly off white head very easy drinking oktoberfest with a light caramel malt flavor there are better ones but this ones easy drinking and good with some wurst

33 cl bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a crystal clear golden color with a one and a half finger thick off white head. Light lacing. Aroma is light grain herbal hops with a touch of skunk. Flavor is much of the same. Doesn’t have the malty sweetness many Oktoberfest/Märzen usually have. Light to medium body. A decent beer.
