Bottle. Amber pour with a creamy head and creamy body. Malty but with a hop presence. Slightly flowery. Sweet, and I swear I always taste mild pumpkin bread. Perhaps because this was my first Oktoberfest many years ago, this is the standard, even if not the best. Very solid, though.

A crisp and refreshing lager, with color. Not much more stood out than that. I guess if you are going to drink this for an entire week, this wouldn’t do too much damage.

Pours a light copper color with an off white head. Nose has a definite underlying sweetness with light hops. Maltiness shows through on the palate. Light caramel and bread dough. Year after year this is a sturdy stand by.

Bottle, pilsner glass. Amber brown body with a modest white head. Not much head retention and only minimal lacing. Aromas of apple cider and cellar mustiness. Flavor principally malts, mellow cidery sweetness with a touch of caramel. Just a touch of hops in the bittersweet finish. Drinks very clean, but a little thin on the palate.

Bottle bought at the Utah State Store. Today college football began, we actually had a 2 minute rain ’storm’ and the Fall beers are back. Pours a light copper color with a very thick off-white head that slowly goes down. A sweet malt and hop aroma. The taste is very nice; a ton of toasted malt flavors, some caramel, biscuit and grainy flavors, sweet, but with a bitter hop finish that leans toward metallic and peppery flavors. Very clean as expected and quite quaffable. Just good beer.

Ah yes, the first Oktoberfest of the year! Nice dark amber pour with thick off white head. Big malty aroma with a slight noble hop bitterness. Taste is a wonderful balance between the malt presence and the hops. Not the best in this style, but good.
