12oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear, pale copper colored body with a thin, fizzy, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves barely a trace of lace. Aroma is a slightly grainy, moderately sweet caramel with a hint of earth and flowery fruits. Flavor is watery fruits, a touch of earth, and some sweeter caramels with a hint of toast. Starts off thin, but builds in body and flavor towards the finish. Light bodied, somewhat dry, and thin on the carbonation. Lingers with a light bitterness and some moderate caramels. Overall, an unexciting Oktoberfest with a bland lager feel. Not terrible, but nothing to write home about.

Dec 25, 2009 The beer geek/snob is going to come out on this one just because of the story that goes along with it. I walk into a Christmas party and one of the guys knows I’m a beer geek. He has a grin on his face and gives me the "Oh boy, wait to see what I brought" and pulls out the 12pack Warsteiner Octoberfest and goes on to tell me that if the name is hard to pronounce and its from Germany... it must be good. I guess it’s the thought that counts right? OH well, a decent light beer that the typical jagoff brings to a party.

Oct 25, 2009 bottle, pours ligh tgold, no head. Skunky aroma. Nice malty flavors, mildly sour. Definately not a marzen, more like a strong lager, too light.

Oct 24, 2009 Presentation: It was poured from a brown 11.2oz bottle into my Spaten Oktoberfest stange glass. There is a "best before end" date of 09.JUN.10 and it was sampled on 10-23-09.
Appearance: The body has a deep golden color with lots of nice carbonation and great clarity. A small bright white and loosely packed head sits on top but it quickly disappears and leaves no lacing behind.
Smell: The nose has light malt with a touch of toasted biscuit and some nice floral/perfume like hops. Also noticeable is a hard mineral water note in the nose.
Taste/Palate: The flavor has the same toasted biscuity malt and floral hops in the nose with mineral sweetness up front that quickly turns dry by the finish. The palate has a light to medium body with smooth yet active carbonation.
Notes: This was a very basic but very drinkable Oktoberfest beer. I did enjoy it but I would have loved more head retention!!!

Oct 22, 2009 Aroma of malt and rice. It is a little light, a classic Marzen, but a little light for what I consider a good Oktoberfest. First couple sips are rough, give it a chance and it goes down smooth. Finishes up clean.
