New Glarus Staghorn Octoberfest Beer

12 oz bottle. Pours a nice amber color with golden highlights and an off white head that has nice lacing. Aroma is of faint caramel maltiness. Flavor is a nice "sharp" caramel malt flavor with a slight hop bitterness at the end. Very smooth and balanced beer. It is a good Oktoberfest but I was hoping for a little more.

Pour is clear orange/golden with a fluffy off white head. Aroma is lightly malty with a medium clean hop aroma. Flavor is damn smooth of very lightly roasted barley, light spice, light hop, and a somewhat sweet finish. Real smooth creamy brew. Extremely easy drink. Would drink again.

Crushed with Jakebra. Very nice, intense and malty aroma is misleading because there’s not much flavor here. Still, it’s okay for a Oktoberfest.

Copper/orange color with a creamy tan head. A very nicely balanced brew. Aroma is sweet and malty yet has a nice hoppy spice to it. Has a rich malty mouth feel with a bite. The bottle says they use "the world’s most expensive hops." I don’t know about all of that but they are good and it shows

Oktoberfest tasting Three Cellars Milwaukee. One of the better New Glarus Brews. Some richness from barley and a nice amber color.

12oz, bottle, aroma is very malty and roasty, nothing too good here, pretty boring, but again its easy to drink and enjoyable.

Pours orange with a nice head. Aroma is malty, toasty, touches of cider. Great balanced flavor, the leafy hops and the sweet malt complement each other well making it extremely drinkable. Strong, full bodied, and easily my favorite example of the style.

Bottle, pilsner glass. Malty aromas, a touch on the toasty side. Pours a very clear orange-gold. A finger’s worth of off-white head dissipates, but a ring remains, maintained by effervescence. Flavor profile is mostly malty, fairly understated, pronouncedly worty. Hints of orange, vanilla, oatmeal. Just a touch of bitterness and tang on the finish. Mild carbonation on the palate, clean drinking.
