Commercial Description:
First released in 2002, and sold out in two weeks. A tribute to the classic Fest styles of Germany the O'Fish uses European malts hops and yeast. A beautiful reddish color, a savory malt profile and nice hop flavor, make this Fest beer quite drinkable. OktoberFish is great with food and especially great with Lederhosen.

Hops: Horizon, Crystal
Yeast: Dusseldorf Alt
Original Gravity: 14.3 Plato
Formats: 1/2 kegs, 1/6 kegs, cask-conditioned
Availability: September 1 to November 1 (if it lasts that long)

Medium/dark amber color - a little cloudy with a thin uneven head. Aroma is bready and slightly earthy. Flavor is moderately sweet, but rather muddy without any crisp roastiness or well-formed body. Finish lingers a bit and is a little sticky. Nothing worth trying again.

Pours a nice redish/copper color with a medium white head. Smells very malty and sweet. Very inviting. The taste is amazing! Not too think, not too bitter, sweet, well balanced. This is one of my favorite oktober beers!

Bottle sampled. Pours a light copper color with a small white head. Aroma of caramel malts, floral hops and a hint of citrus. Flavor follows the aroma with a bittersweet finish
