3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Can. An orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of grapefruit, while the flavor is sweet with strongest notes of grapefruit, but also notes of malt and caramel. Much more like an IPA, than an Oktoberfest - maybe a Minnesota Oktoberfest ;-) Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Can 47,5 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Slightly hazy, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Very fresh and piney aroma. Medium body with light caramel accents and otherwise completely dominated by the very dry, piney aroma hoppiness. Distinctly bitter finish. Excellent, but in style very far from an Oktoberfest! If this was served in the beer halls of Munich, the poor local beerdrinkers would never what hit them... 110108

47.5 cL can. Pours hazy orange with a diminished white head. Aroma is slight spiced, solid floral hoppy aroma. Flavour is medium sweet and solid fruity towards fresh fruity hoppy. Ends very fresh fruity. Nice ipa by all means, but this ha very little to do with a classic Octoberfestbier.

Amber, hazy. Spicy, herbal and big citrusy hop aroma. Very bitter. Lots of rye spiciness. The malts are presentt but subdued. Not very lagerish, but it’s an interesting brew.

Can from trade with akevitt. Thanks Jason. It poured an almost clear orange golden body and a white head. That’s quite normal for an oktoberfest. What surprised me was the lovely hop profile in this beer. It was packed full of apricot, flowers and pine, as well as some resin and a maltyness trying to balance it. The flavor isn’t on the same level, but sure something for a hophead. There’s still the lovely apricot, flower and pine, but it’s too high on bitterness. Full body and a long, long hoppy finish. Lager, who should have thought that. (080216)
