Brewed by Abita Brewing Company
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Covington, Louisiana USA

Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Stein

Aroma of pilsner yeast, apricot, and urine. Pours gold with very little.carbonation. tastes of sharp apricot and beer bread. No taste of hops at all. Not enjoying this.

as with all Abitas, its not bad but there are brewers out there that make more interesting versions of their beers.

12 oz. Clear orange-amber with a humongous head. Nose is caramel, light toast, and tartish apple, Flavor is whole grain bread, flowery apple, and burnt toffee. Medium body is smoothly carbonated, tingly, and astringent enough to sweep away the sweetness to provide a drying finish.

Pretty standard Octoberfest, I suppose - Caramel and toffee and perhaps a bit of cinnamon in the aroma, smooth palate, and the flavor is more caramel, toffee and toast. Not bad, just a bit bland.

The aroma is malty with corn and caramel and the hops are grassy. The appearance is golden with a small head. The taste is like the aroma and uninspiring. The palate thin. Overall not bad but not a very good beer.

12oz bottle, purchased from Party Source for $1.45. Clear amber-orange color, minimal head, some lace. Some roast to the moderate malt aroma, whole wheat. Crisp carbonation, very drinkable. Savory taste. Not terribly interesting. I can hardly tell the difference between a lot of these oktoberfest beers, but this one just barely stands out.

A nice looking copper colored beer with an almost non-existent white head. The aroma is entirely malty, some nuttiness and roasted coffee. The flavor is thin but has notes of weak malt. Overall, nothing memorable, just average malt characteristics.

23 Nov 2009, bottle. smells really sweet like wet bread. rather disappointing. basically a mild brown ale. slightly nutty. only mediocre.
