3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Did I somehow lose ratings? I have had this many times and seem to remember entering it in... anyway, orange color, typical Oktoberfest smell and taste. Nothing really outstanding here to set this apart from the plethora of competitors. Belch.

Victory Festbier is a hazy amber lager with some small particles in it. It’s topped with an off white head that fades to a thin film and leaves nice lacing. It has a malty and melanoidal aroma. It smells like pretzels; grainy with a touch of caramel. It’s medium bodied and pretty smooth with a light, quick finish. It leaves the palate clean. It has a mellow flavor that’s well blended. It tastes grainy and fruity with notes of pretzels, bread crust, caramel, possibly a hint of cherry. It’s not sweet and has just a touch of herbal bitterness. I’m not a big fan of this style, but this is really well made.

Pour is dark orange with a decent sized bubbly white head. Aroma is of spicy fruits - nutmeg, caramel, oranges, earth. Flavor is somewhat sweet with a bitter finish and chock full of nuts! Light to medium bodied and somewhat watery mouth feel.

12oz bottle in a shaker. Pours copper with a cream-colored head. Aroma of toast, nuts, and a little bit of hops. Flavor about the same. A pretty standard Oktoberfest beer.

Pour is an orange color with a quickly dissipating white head. Nose is of spices and nuts.Taste leaves something to be desired but similar to the nose.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz bottle.
It pours a reddish orange with a fizzy white head.
The smell is of oxidized fruits and caramel.
The taste is a bit bland, it starts with a mineral water character and moves into a doughy sweetness with a bit of bitterness.
This beer hardly excites me, one of the more forgettable Oktoberfest beers.

Pours orange-red with white head, aroma has notes of nuts, caramel, and some earth. Taste is a bit weak and muddled, but has notes of nuts and earth, slight spice. Not bad, just not my style.
