Commercial Description:
Blue Point Octoberfest is another palate-pleasing seasonal brew. Originally brewed in 1810 to celebrate the betrothal of the Crown Prince of Bavaria, Blue Point continues the celebration by traditionally brewing this special malty amber lager every October. Octoberfest lager is stored cold for 2 months to ensure its distinct smooth flavor. Tap a pint and celebrate the season!

Pre-release sample from BP. This light orange to gold beer looked great as we poured this into tasting glasses. This lightly spiced beer reminded me of a wheat or wiezen style as its slight sudsy head seemed to have milky texture. I found this very enjoyable to drink and I hope to see this on tap too.

12 oz. bottle. Looks like this is the third 3 rating a row! Pours a clear medium gold with a moderate linen white head that lasted through the first third of the glass and left partial lace. Very light aroma of malt and an ever-so-slight metallic smell. The flavor is again light malt but with no sign of the metallic notes in the aroma. Dull, lackluster finish. Mediocre.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of malts, bread, sourdough, caramel, and grains. Poured amber in color with a medium-sized, dense, off-white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of malts, grains, honey, caramel, corn, and dough. Light to medium body. Thin, oily texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, grainy, caramel finish.

Clear copper color with a short-lasting white head. Aroma of toasted malts, some caramel. Taste of toasted malts, caramel and some hops. Smooth, unimpressive, but unoffensive.

Bottle. Poured a clear dark golden amber. Malty, yeasty nose. Crisp flavor with a nice malt hop finish, well balanced and drinkable,albeit simple. Another good session brew.
