Saranac Octoberfest is a rich flavorful lager. We use imported two-row and crystal malt and balance it with the pleasant bitterness of Saaz and Tettang hops.
Beer Ratings and Reviews:
[1] Review by bigred00 from buffalo, NY, USA who has tried this beer many times. (10/3/2008 3:47:42 PM)
"Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: The body has a medium amber color with good clarity and a modest size, just off white head. It fades quickly down to a very thin covering that makes only a little slick lacing.
Smell: Its aroma has herbal hop notes with light hints of sweet caramel and bready malt.
Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor has an average but still very good mix of sweet caramel and bready malt with spicy/herbal and mildly floral hops. It has a solid medium body with a soft texture and carbonation. The finish leans a bit towards the hops and the drinkability is very good.
Notes: Overall it’s a solid yet safe Oktoberfest beer.

[2] Review by ColejConnoisseur from Kirkville, NY, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (2/12/2008 11:20:46 AM)
"I enjoyed the crisp flavor of this beer. It was the first Octoberfest style that I've tried, so what to expect I did not know. Good amber color and also a nice head from the pour. Hops present and accounted for, slightly bitter aftertaste, though. It went well with the venison that we ate, so that's a plus too."

[5] Review by willblake from Brick, NJ, USA who has tried this beer (1/18/2006 8:04:36 PM)
"09.05.04 12oz bottle. Dark amber pour, smallish head, no lacing, flat looking. Light malty, bready aroma with slight hoppiness. Very thin body, quite watery, with a sharp eff zing. Some unpleasant acidity that is not tart but sour. Not very good, in fact, drinking this beer has been a rather unpleasant experience."
