Victory Festbier

Brewed by Victory Brewing Company
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Downingtown, Pennsylvania USA

Clear sparkling orangey brown, thin off white head. Light spicy German hops nose with additinal toffee and caramel notes, with even softer tones of cherry and fresh bread mixed in. Flavor was similar, quite toasty, lightly nutty, with caramel malt playing of the spicy hops rather nicely for balance. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, light toasty, German hop finish. Not bad, but nothing to write home about either...

If you drink a few beers before hand, well........ this might be a beer you’d like. Not to impressive on me palate, unless you like water with a touch of ?????? This beer is better then Coors Light but what beer is not. If you drink Coors light and want to get crazy one day this is the beer for you.

On tap. Brownish amber body with loose white head. Nose of caramel and toasted malts. Flavors of dark bread, toffee, and a hint of honey. Very good at first, but sweetness became too present as it warmed up.

Slightly hazy orange-copper body with a loose sudsy, fading white head. Tea-like malty nose with a deep toasty quality and mellow earthy hops. Sweet, toasty malt flavor. Has an element of over-baked crusty biscuits. Somewhat cloying and chalky.

Poured light amber with practically no head. The head looked big but dissapeared really quickly. Nose has caramel, currant, orange and citrus. Taste is descent overall but not real strong. There is a descent maltiness in the mouthfeel, but nothing to write home about. Nice balanced session beer from Victory, but not their best stuff.

Amber pour with a small head that quickly dissappeared. Malt backbone with a subtle hops taste. Smooth and and pleasent

bottle. solid orange hue with a fluffed cream tinted head aroma is floral sweet cinnamon. nice floral hop nose. taste is much more bitter than i expected at first. the malt really comes through more in the finish. leaves that ofest syrupy taste that i like. really similar taste to raisin bran. enjoyable brew, don’t worry nuffield, i made sure you had rated this before i popped it. thanks slob, for the bottle.

On tap at the Maproom in Chicago. Light amber color with a thin white head. The nose is a malty caramel with a hint of grass. The taste is lightly sweet with flowers and a touch of toffee. There is also a little bit of brown sugar in this. A decent and light brew.
