Pours clear, medium amber-brown, with a thin white head, not much lacing. Sweet, fruity, malty aroma, like rasins and apples. Medium body, very smooth. Crisp, well-balanced flavor, sweet, malty and caramel at first, with a nice German hop zing in the aftertaste.

Amber with a sweet malty aroma. Smooth tasting lager that is a bit feeling. Excellent balance of hops and malt.

12oz bottle. Transparent tan-orange color with a quickly dissipating head. Delicate sweet aroma. Creamy and malty with a pleasant spicy hop crispness. Displays a lot of lighter lager characteristics, in a good way, which make it quite a drinkable Oktoberfest. This one is a Ur-classic, pretty much dead center in the range of Oktoberfests.

Nice amber brew, semi sweet undertone with just enough hops to keep me interested. Oddly enough it’s in a green bottle. It’s a nice way to show that summer is ending.

SLightly skunky aroma, flavor is watery, slight hops, and soap. Not really what i look for in my oktoberfest. Little sweet aftertaste, but overall a bit on the light side, needs more malt!

12 oz bottle Perhaps I am spoiled but this good quality beer is in my opinion standard for the wonderful city of Munich.

12oz green glass bottle served in a lager glass. Green glass? Seriously, why? Amber-gold in color with a thin white head. Smells of grain, spicy noble hops, and a hint of skunk piss. Firm bitterness balance by sweet malts, earthy spiciness. Pretty big flavor from a lager. Very nice, just ditch the green bottles.
