Sampled at Lundeen’s Brew Ha-Ha 2009. Pours a clear amber-orange color with a small, dense, white head. Aroma has an light amount of toasted malt with an average amount caramel, straw, hay and apple notes. Flavor has a strong grainy presence, grassy, light caramel and some metallic tastes. Medium body and a pretty creamy texture which made the beer feel pretty good. Overall an okay oktoberfest but still misses the mark a bit.

Fliptop from Arden Wines. Pours brilliant copper with a receding billow of suds. Beeswax, leather, oily garden hop aroma with some cake-like sweetness and almond. Soapy pinecone hop, chewed pencil, lingering bread and honey, lick of Nutella. CHURCH END. Supped this with some greasy late night nibbles, which really didn’t work and killed the carbonation and flavour to some extent. A shame because it’s a fine and distinctive Oktoberfest with a richer, breadier malt profile than most. Filtered, bottled or from the wood, HP are quality.

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a Pours a clear brown tinted copper color with a thin frothy offwhite head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma of toasted grains, raisin, citrus, caramel. Very, very faint hoppy note. Taste is caramel and toasted malts, some raisins. Slight bready. Softly carbonated, medium bodied. Good beer.

The aroma is earthy smell, cereal grains, malts, caramel, fruit, prunes. The appearance is the reddish/orange, true to the Oktoberfest style. The flavor is caramel, malts, brown sugar, bread. The finish is a light hop bittering. Medium mouthfeel. Not great, but very drinkable.

Good example of the style, but not the greatest. Everything you’d expect from your run of the mill marzen. Uber drinkable on a hot day!

Had on tap at Delaware Saengerbund Oktoberfest. Nice color, big head, Aroma and flavor were both good, but nothing special, sweet and malty. VERY drinkable, crushed a liter of it quick.

Very good oktoberfest. Much lighter and lighter bodied then other offerings. This one doesn’t have that sticky mouthful you get in so many other oktoberfests. Easy drinking and finished pretty dry. I would say it’s alittle watery but not in a bad way. Still has some nice flavor.
