Sep 2, 2002 Not sure what makes this one an Oktoberfest. Looks and smells just like an everyday lager. Clear light yellow body with a big white head. Aroma is Germanic hop heavy. Flavor is crisp and clean, with medium German bitterness tempered by mild maltiness.

Mar 16, 2002 I had this a while ago; very caramelly, not what I expected from Germany, but good anyway. Nice copper color.

Dec 18, 2001 This has got to be one of my favorite beers so far. I got a bottle in a ’tour of the world’ sampler pack 2 or 3 weeks ago, and made a good decision at saving it for last. It has a smooth malty taste, great deep golden color. Finely crafted. I just wish it was available longer than just two months of the year. I have to agree somewhat with ESBFREAK in saying that it is stronger than I expected but its not overwhelming by any means.

Nov 24, 2001 A very fine, STRONG, Bavarian holiday beer. This brew will lay you out, if you have too many. It is very smooth, with a big malt/alcohol taste.
Not too easy to find, and usually only available during November-December.

Nov 19, 2001 The bottle I had at Resi’s Bierstube in Chicago said ’Wurzburger Hofbrau Oktoberfest’; I assume we’re talking the same beer here. Anyhow, it was tasty and I would order it again happily, but it’s not in the same league as the Ayinger Oktoberfest.

Aug 8, 2001 White, persistent head with a familiar rusty/ copper marzen color...otherwise sub-par. Quite watery with very little hop presence. If the beer was as festive as the label, I might have actually enjoyed this.

Aug 7, 2001 Drinkable but unimpressive. Golden color, nice frothy head, but its all downhill from there. Not much of a nose, slight banana flavor sometimes present. Not too much flavor, not offensive, but not good.
