A classic German style lager, Oktoberfest has a rich toasted malt character with a clean dry finish. Oktoberfest is traditionally brewed in March (Marzen), laid down to age through the summer then joyfully served during the Oktoberfest celebration in the early fall.

[1] Review by staleyiv from Newnan, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (10/2/2008 4:45:04 PM)
"Tis' the season for oktoberfest brews. 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 rich, semi-transparent mahogany with a fairly thick light tan head. Aroma is malty and hoppy and has an undertone of spice, mainly cloves. Flavor is mouth-filling and mainly malty and a little spicy. Texture is smooth and very pleasant. A fine fall beer."

"The color was a clear medium brown and a decent head. The aroma was surprisingly hoppy. The flavor has a good malt caramel base but I wouldn't call it really malty. The hops came in with a crisp bitterness that made this a very drinkable Oktoberfest."
