A decent effort for a mass produced Octoberfest. As previously mentioned, however, a bit light on the malts and way too fizzy. And yes I’ve found this to be skunky too.

I was impressed considering the source. I expected more malt (a little bland for a fest), but this was still fairly malty. My biggest gripe was overcarbonation though. Good overall, and easy to find.

Ok, I expected better. This was much more hoppy than it was malty, which isn’t good for an oktoberfest. The aroma wasn’t all that appealing as it smelled very hoppy. this is a very lop sided oktoberfest. definitely not the best.

Well-balanced, flavorful, and robust. Caramel sweetness is offset by firm hops. A very tasty beer; just wish it was available all year.
