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!

OK ... maybe it’s the label, but the nose was vegetable and made me think of pumpkin. The taste was pumpkin, sweet malts, bitter hops, and enough sourness to keep it from tasting too one dimensional. Mouth was a little thin, Appearance ... reddish amber with a small white head ... was the best part of the beer. Hlaf a bottle was enough. Not bad, exactly, but not great either.

Pours amber with a white head. Smells like leaves, pumpkin, pretty much everything autumn. If you could bottle the scent, flavor, and feeling of autumn, this is what you would get. It just tastes like you are breathing in fresh fall air. Another nice brew from Weyerbacher.

Bottle: poured a light amber hue with a fading head and no much lace. The aroma has notes of caramel, pumpernickel bread, apple, pear, currants, and some honeycomb. The taste is rather straight-forward and of little depth which mostly sweet malt and fruit. A bit twangy and acidic which kept it from becoming cloy. The feel matched the rest of the beer, very average. Yes, this is an average beer, no drainpour yet nothing very special.

Poured brown witha small white head that did not have good retention. It was a decently light beer with a sweet malt taste, very little hopd.

Was expecting a marzen/oktoberfest, so was a bit let down with this beers vapid malt profile. Honey-bronze color with a clean, wispy malt/hop balance in the nose. Clean drinking, but reserved malt flavor--more of an amber ale style beer. I am surprise to see the modestly high alcohol content as it was completely masked in this beer.

Toasty, bready, malt forward aroma is fresh, clean and appealing. Clear amber-brown body with a large, pillowy, long lasting, off white head that coats the glass. Bready and toasty malt character carries this one through with a fair finishing bitterness to keep from cloying. Soft, creamy texture to the medium body with fine carbonation that is lively on the tongue. I thought this was a very well made Octoberfest and I’m very surprised to see it entered as an amber ale. Sampled on the PA trip 2005.

Bottle. Displeased with this amber ale. A copper colour but followed with no aroma or taste that made me want to drink more. I might try again with a different meal.

12 oz bottle Pours light brown with an off white head which fades quickly. Looks like ice tea. Malty aroma with hints of chocolate.Hints of berries in the taste. Also touches of grain. Has a weak bitter finish. This is a tasty change. Probally wouldn’t drink every day but not bad once in a while.
