JFGrind (1346), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 27, 2008 I think this was on e of the first Victory beers I ever drank. Just never got around to officially rating Festbier. Amber US style O-Fest caramel malts, earthy with medium body. Enjoyable, middle of the road and higher alcohol than I anticipated. borgination (101), Lee, Massachusetts, USA Sep 26, 2008 Delicious beer. Goes down extremely smooth and has a great taste. Has a perfect balance to it. bbp182 (255), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 26, 2008 Pours a nice amber color with a off white head. Very malty smell. A little hint of caramel and hops. As toasted. It is a very good tasting oktober fest beer. Not a big fan of the styl but when its done right you can’t help but drink it. Top 5 so far. A nice malty flavor, just the right amount of hops too. Beaver (588), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Sep 25, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear copper with a fizzy white head that quickly diminishes to a thin film that leaves some lacing.
The aroma is toasted biscuit malts, carmel, and some grassy slightly minty hops.
The flavor is slightly sweet toasted biscuit malts with a dry, slightly bitter (minty), finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, not a bad Oktoberfest. I’m finding I don’t much care for the style. I don’t like the toasted biscuit flavors.
johntreeter (121), Greenwood, Indiana, USA Sep 25, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear amber copper with a one finger off white head and no lacing. Classic malty bready marzen nose and taste with a weel balanced bitter and dry finish. Med body, lively carb, wet texture, and dry feel. Very flavorful and true to style Marzen witch I will visit again in the years to come. nearbeer (1833), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Sep 25, 2008 12 oz, bb Jan 18, 09. Clear orange-copper with a small ring of bubbles that doesn’t leave much lacing behind. Earthy grain and spicy caramel corn aroma has a sourish tinge to it. Flavor is rough grain, corn husks, caramel, tart apple with hints of orange, cocoa and toasted walnut. Light-medium body is mostly smooth, and slightly dry. rustbucket0873 (145), Krikville, New York, USA Sep 24, 2008 Pours a copper/ amber color, with little head. The aroma is of malt, and lightly of hops. the flavor is malty, hops, and a caramel flavor too. This beer is not the best from victory in my opinion. msante79 (782), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA Sep 24, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear copper with small white head. Aroma of malts, caramel. and some light hops. Flavor is malty, caramel, nuts and hops. Body is a little thin and watery. Nothing special.
