The best domestic and imported German malts are used to produce our delicate yet complex bottom fermented lager. Its sweet maltiness dominates the palate but leaves behind a subtle, clean hop finish.

On cask at GI Clybourn served in an English pint glass. Dark orange pour with a one-finger thick head of creamy tan foam that slowly settled into a lasting cap. Heavy lace. The aroma had strong caramel, toasted bread, faint citrus, and also some herbs. The flavor was full of rich caramel and biscuity malt. A lot of citrus and noble hops on the backend. Not overly sweet or bitter. Quite drinkable. Medium-bodied with minimal carbonation. A very nice Oktoberfest.

Another solid American version that doesn’t totally impress, but is quite nice during the season.

20th anniverssary 750ml Waxed in silver via trade shared at Alesmith today with smokepot23 and others. This came out nothing like an oktoberfest, but came out damn good and weird. Poured orangey wiht a tan ring. Nose is sweet, taste is sweet, tart and probably turned or infected but i like it.

Bottled, 355ml from Westholme Stores, Goring, Oxon. Orange amber with slight white head. Heavy caramel body, clinging toffee notes, seemingly a little over processed leading to a boiled herby flavour. Most odd and unfortunate. A pretty poor Oktoberfest beer.
