Abita Fall Fest is an Octoberfest lager available September-November. It is brewed with German Hersbrucker hops and pale, crystal and chocolate malts. The result is a full bodied, malty beer with a strong hop character and a beautiful amber color.

"Call me a looney tune but I expect my o-fests to not be golden in color. Well this is. The aroma sucks with some caramel notes but alot of corn. The flavor is malty with some caramel, corn, and oddly grassy notes. It’s like they tried to doctor up a pale lager to call it an o-fest. Pass! "

"Clear copper in color with a thick tan head. Aroma is sweet and roasty. Cloves, apple, and caramel in both the aroma and the taste. Light and slightly bitter flavor with nutty and malty hints. Overall not a bad beer."

"A decent brew--copper color with malty, sweet aroma. Detect some caramel in the malty flavor and it finishes with a little bitterness. Tasty but nothing special."

"The aroma of this one is very sweet and malty, as well as, bready-like with maybe some very slight bitter notes. The appearance is a rusty orange to copper amber in color with a medium sized head that diminishes leaving uneven lacing on the glass that is off-white in color. The mouthfeel is light to medium in body with decent malty complexity and has relatively good balance with a pallet that is a bit thin. The flavor is very sweet and malty with some breadiness and faint hops with an aftertaste that is strange and is bitter to sour-like and almost unpleasant with a finish that is refreshing and pretty good but a bit watery. Overall, this is not a bad oktoberfest but I have had much better and the sourness factor is strange but, nonetheless, this is a brew to sample and to experience. Also, this one seems a bit too bitter for the style but, afterall, it is an American representation."

"Pours a copper body with a little head. It Has a distinct fall aroma. Lighter boded, with a maltier mouthfeel and a hint of leaves. Finishes a little sweet with an accent of squirrels gathering nuts. "
