Commercial Description:
Brewed using the time honored methods and an extra slow lager to release the smooth flavor of our roasted malts. Over 1,100 lbs. Of malted barley in every handcrafted batch! Expect this bier to pour with a rich head of foam that will enhance its incredible spice bouquet. Staghorn Octoberfest combines a smooth amber body with a clean crisp finish.

Not a huge fan of the Oktoberfests anyway. This was fairly unremarkable. Tasted fine but was just really average. I have come to expect quite a bit from New Glarus and this one really didn’t impress me in anyway.

Light but well done and balanced. One of the better Marzen Octoberfest’s I’ve tried. Highly drinkable.

Bottle. Pours copper with a thin light tan head. Faint aroma of wheat and some spices. Taste of caramel, spice, nuts and some earthiness. Thin and watery. I’m not a fan of this style. This one doesn’t stand out, but is easy to drink.

A huge creamy head tops the pale orange/copper body. The aroma has clean toasted malt with a touch of caramel sweetness. Nice lively carbonation. It has a lightly toasted bread flavor with some malty sweetness and a very light earthy bitterness to balance it out. Pretty decent.

Bottle, big thanks to Iowaherkeye! Pours a crystalline copper with a small fluffy head. I get sticky caramel, green apples, leaves, and a bit of vegetation in the nose. After taking a sip, I have to say I was expecting a bit more hops. I wasn’t thinking anything crazy, but this one seems to be focused more on the malty qualities and is on the sweeter side, sporting some candied attributes. It has a faint hint at biscuits with a barely tart finish. All right for an Oktoberfest, I suppose. I just can’t get into the style.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey - Pours a clear amber color with a one finger thick off white head. Aroma is light bread and herbal hops. Flavor is light toasted malt. Palate is slightly bitter. Medium body. A nice beer. Thanks Bill.

A nice Oktoberfest Marzen that really shines with traditioal flavor. Full malty taste with a hint of biscuit/graininess. I enjoy drinking this one each year. Not my absolute favorite, but still a winner in my opinion. Clear as a bell red/amber with a long lasting head. The caramel aspect really shines through with this beer. Hops are present, yet not in the fore front.
