3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Clearer golden amber orange with a decent white head. Not nearly as sweet as others in the style, some leafiness, light fruits as well in the aroma. Lightly malty, some sweetness, but dries out a little in the finish. Medium to lighter oily body.

It pours a dark orange that is transparent with a thin white head that leaves some lacing. The aroma is full of soft subtle spices. The taste is full of these spices. The beer is very well balanced and crisp. I’m typically not a huge oktoberfest fan but this is quite nice. Smooth, drinkable, and tasty. I can see why this is rated the top Oktoberfest in the world!

Tap @ The Forge Foco. Poured into a goblet, huh? Pours a dark, clear orange appearance with a cream colored head. Sweet fruity, creamy, straw, toffee, a touch boozy, straw aroma. Kind of metallic, somewhat dry. Straw, earthy, grassy, creamy caramel, somewhat floral hoppy, toasty malty flavor. Not sure what is up with the high metallicity but it’s off putting.

Another good German Oktoberfest. Malty aroma with some sweetness. Coppery orange color with foamy head that lasted a while. Decent lacing. Thicker than average palate. Nice earthy tone to it of grains and malt. Well balanced and no hint of alcohol. Recommended if you like this style.

Rec’d as a good Octoberfest. It’s what I had in mind--a drinkable lager with a slightly nutty caramel malt flavor. Delicious.

Fantastic fest beer, clear copper with a soapy white head. Aroma is white bread dough, cut flowers and sweet caramel. Bitter floral hops, sweet caramel and malt. Great beer and this bottle has a fantastic bottle cap!

The nose is sweet with caramel, bread, and toffee aromas. Copper with a fluffy off white head. Sweet in the bread and caramel range. Very very smooth with a nice sweet finish.
