COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A traditional marzen style beer with a gorgeous firey dark orange color. Oktoberfest emphasizes a rich malt character. A great way to fortify oneself as the nights start to get cooler. Available August through October

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Slightly hazy amber golden with a small, creamy, off-white head. Sweetish, malty nose. Medium body with lightly sweet malts and a somewhat biscuity touch. The finish is dry. Somewhat close to a Heller Bock. 171107

Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - NOV 18, 2007
Bottled. A hazy orange-red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit - especially peaches, as well as notes of malt and berries. the flavor is sweet with notes of dusty German hops combined with light notes of alcohol, leading to a dry and slightly bitter finish. OK, but nothing special.

via Bockeyhorsey via Fantsy Baseball Nice amber color with a sweet aroma. Sweet malty taste with a hint of bitterness at the end.

kmeves (1098) - Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA - OCT 25, 2007
Dark amber in color, off white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is caramel, some dough and roasted nut. Flavor leans more heavily to the doughy but sweet as well. Nice balance, medium body. Seems a bit "bigger"than the German offerings of the style.

BDR (2535) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - SEP 27, 2007
Another good offering from Capital that sets itself apart from the rest of the generic oktoberfests. Grainy nose and caramel malt and the same old color. But the floral hops in the body makes a nice addition to the the malt character.

RSRIZZO (1634) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - SEP 23, 2007
Had this beer on 6/23/2000. Aroma is a sweet carmely malt scent. Color is a bright golden brown with very light carbonation and an ok head. Taste a bitter malt flavor. Starting with medium body it goes down with a sour funk. Finish is a somewhat dry malt flavor with a bitter end. Its just not a good Octoberfest.

Juelze (1116) - Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 18, 2007
Pours a deep copper with a thick bubbly off-white head that settles to 1/4". Aroma is of light fruitiness, caramel, and some light grassiness. Taste is of caramel, light fruitiness, light hop bitterness. Mild carbonation and easy on the tongue. A dead on example of the style.
