Also tasted this at the La Crosse Oktoberfest. Frankly, it smelled like vomit. Probably won’t ever drink it again.

Stickly sweet malt flavors dominate this beer. Smells completely unremarkable. The flavor is very very one-sided in the worst way possible. I’ll take 30 of the "worst" hopbombs in existence before another of these. 6 Festbiers was enough.

Orangeish color with decent head, almost disgusting aroma. Flavor was bitter and it just didn't sit well. A very cheap Oktoberfest brew however.
