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

12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pour was a clear gold with a pillowy, white head. Nose is a light sour ale, with possibly, a Belgian character, and spices. Taste is the same, with light fruits, and a lingering sparkling finish. Of all the Oktoberfest beers I’ve tried, this is the farthest from the norm. Not terrible, but again, a mediocre Micro.

pours a clear copper-red with a very small dirty white head, and some lacing. smell of malt, caramel, and a touch of spice. taste is tangy, malt, some nuts, some caramel, a bit of hops in the back, and a touch of spice, ends tangy on the tongue.

i’m a big fan of all victory’s brews but this one left me hanging..i was just expecting a solid Oktoberfest after having the primas and devils for so long..didn’t happen...the body was thin and a little watery...flavor of weak fest malts not much for hops, nothing stood out for me..still love Victory but they need to step up their fest brew...

Not bad, not great. But so far this year of the maybe 8 or so micro and german OKfestsbiers I’ve had, none have been the shit. Poured and ok medium to small off white head and bit of lace. Color is a nice medium amber. Aroma is very nice; malty and a bit spicy. Flavor is ’bout the same. Body’s a tad thin. ’S’okay. Nothing to write home about. Drinkable. Session beer. Body’s ok too.

12oz bottle. Orange-brown color, filtered. Decent off white head that fades out after a couple of minutes. Amber malt and noble hop aroma. Great balance, this one hits the mark. Smooth and malty with an ever-present hop backdrop. Some crispness upfront, then fades into a mild caramel flavored finish. Subtle, quality beer.

Pours a beautiful copper-amber body with an off-white, lacing head. Smells of caramel and some fresh hops. Flavor is caramel, biscuit, and resin. Finish is not bitter but floral and black tea.

Good beer, but nothing special. The flavors are light as is the aroma. Not the best octoberfest that I have had but it could be worse. Overall it is an average beer. Worth the try.
