Warsteiner Oktoberfest

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

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.

Doesn’t really look like an Oktoberfest. It looks more like a darker Bud or other macro. Kind of astringent medicinal flavor with a cereal, yeast and a touch of skunk for the aroma. Overall, I was expecting much better. It seems like they hurried to make this beer and didn’t put much thought into it.

Strangely yellowish. Lots of citrus, maybe a little too much in the aroma. Fair taste.

12 oz. Bottle. Poured a dark yellow clear color. Taste was a slightly bitter. Smelled of malts and bitter. Average beer.

12oz - Clear orange liquid, no nose. Malt flavors on palate along with some funk. Fine but forgettable.

Poured a darker yellow with a white head. Aroma was malty but very light. Flavor was pretty bland, not much there besides a slightly better pale lager.

Some sort of off citrusy astringency and high carbonation. Not as good as others... if you’re getting WS, get the original and dunkel, nothing else.

Bottle. Poured an amber color with a little white head. Some lacing was left behind. Aroma was bread, yeast, malts, and caramel. Flavor was some bitters, skunk, and malts. Medium body. Nothing special decent beer.
