Commercial Description:
Seductively smooth, this medium-bodied amber beauty is akin to the great Oktoberfest beers of Munich. All German hops make this lager true to style. Patient cold aging makes it wonderfully smooth. In bottles September through February

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
