Commercial Description:
AutumnFest is Weyerbachers own unique twist on the German Oktoberfest style. Copper-amber in color, AutumnFest is made with Vienna and Munich malts for that authentic, Bavarian easy drinking taste. Each sip imparts a wonderful roastiness of malt on the tongue followed by a smooth, consistent finish. Wonderfully balanced with a clean, velvety, slightly fruity taste, AutumnFest is the perfect beer for the Fall- a nice transition between the lighter beers of summer and the darker, heavier winter brews. It is a favorite of many Weyerbacher aficionados, who anticipate the end of summer with this wonderful beer. Weyerbacher AutumnFest (ABV 5.4%) is generally available in stores August through December. Pick up a case to celebrate the change of seasons. Prost!

A ringwood-yeast aroma, with some butterscotch. An earthy ale malt in the nose. The appearance is cloudy amber orange. Big puffy head. Tons of carbonation. Big and thick; perfect. The flavor is more butterscotch with some earthy, soil-tinged flavors. A pub ale with a flowery hop. Sweet caramel. Feels buttery and smooth. No bite. Might be a tad old but it’s only November. A decent ale, just might not hold up very long.

12 oz. bottle, trade with mrbunn. Still got a ton of cellared Weyerbachers, but here’s one needing to be drunk fresh. Roasty and toasty honey malt smell as soon as it’s opened. Pours a slightly hazy orangish brown in a Sam Adams glass, thick head quickly becomes a light layer of beer foam. First taste impression is a little bit watery, but almost right away it brings in some caramel and toffee. German hops are pitched straight at the big malts. Kind of doubt there are many German Oktoberfests this malty. Very enjoyable. This showcases Oktos as a great style for beer of medium strength.

For the Marzen style, this is a decent brew. A good malt and bready nose rises from a mahogany colored body. The classic Octoberfest flavor is present in the Autumn Fest, this one carries a slightly sweet, burnt caramel taste. A rather weak, watery mouthfeel rounds out the beer. CP

Poured a cloudy yellow/amber with a medium white head. Aroma is sweet with some spices. Taste is very smooth with toffee, fruit, caramel, and spices. Very good!

Dark amber cloudy brew with a thin white head, sweet aroma, and wonderful creamy balance of malt and roasted chestnuts that has you looking forward to autumn and even winter.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of sugar, sweet malt, dark fruits. Flavor is also quite sweet with toffee, dark fruits, caramel, raisins, prunes. This is just too sweet and sugary for me, and hard to get through. Blech. 5/4/6/3/11 [2.9/5]

Poured to a hazy reddish brown with nice off white head that lingers well and leaves good lacing. Nose and mouth were both faint, but what was present was a nice blend of malty dark fruit, with a hint of toffee and caramel. Smooth mouthfeel and a pleasant finish. While nothing strong stuck out, this was an enjoyable beer.
