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

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Deep amber color with a small, pillowy, off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma: Mild toasted notes with a hint of caramel. Light nose. Flavor: Some toast, a bit of grain, a decent hop prescience and some caramel notes. A decent interpretation. Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium-short, malty finish. Overall: Not a bad Oktoberfest and very sessionable. That being said, Victory has better beers and there are better examples of the style out there.

Not my favorite oktoberfest, but this is a really good all around example... Medium to lighter mouthfeel... mild aroma of caramel and toasted nuts... Flavor has a tinge to it that’s distinctly oktoberfest... almost a spicy character... mildly effervescent... Good overall, and easy to drink

Bottle. Poured copper with an off-white head that settles quickly. Aromas of grain, caramel, and spice. The flavor is much the same with a maybe just a hint more malts coming out. Medium body and a spice aftertaste.

Amber caramel color with no head. Not much aroma either. Some malts and a bit of caramel. Flavor of toasted malts, bread, and a bit of caramel. Kind of bland for Victory.

Taster at Great Lost Bear - Poured a clear amber in color with a small off-white head that faded. Aroma is malty and slightly sweet with just a hint of hops. Flavor is of bready yeasts, slightly sweet maltiness and a small amount of spicy hops. An OK, but not great, Oktoberfest brew...

Bottle. Pours amber with off white head. This is malty, but nondescript. Just sweet. Some hoppiness. Not bad. I’m never impressed by Oktoberfests, but this is actually a decent one.

A few malts on the aroma but not much. Flavor is thin with a few malts and some Carmel. this beer is not much to write home about. Amazed they can get away with charging so much for it.
