Victory Festbier

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

Pours bright orangish amber with a mostly receding light tan head. Aroma of sweet rich maltiness, dripping with toffee and notes of bread and toasted grain. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly sticky with lush carbonation. Very nice festbier, one of the best American examples of the style.

Light copper pour, inch or so head. Abit sticky, some malt and slight bread, some hop flavor on the aftertaste, a pretty good Marzen.

Water, average, not much body, just not enough zig to it, much rather have a Weeping Radish Oktoberfest

Orange amber color with a bit of a head and a grainy aroma. Flavor is heavy on the grains and pleasant. Victory is capable of much more and this wasn’t nearly as crisp as I expected.

Bottle. Dark pour with a fluffy head. Earthy and musty aroma with some yeast and wheat. Flavor also has some spice and earthy notes.

Pours a clear reddish amber with a large foamy beige head. Sweet aroma of crystal malt, lots of hay and some honey. Flavor is the much the same... light flavor, lots of hay, some crystal malt, nothing interesting. Lighter body with softer but crisp carbonation. Very disappointing.

Attractive dark amber with a white head. Pretty neutral nose, very light grain and a faint hint of grass. Notes start with caramel, toasitness, bread - only a little malty sweentess, some grass/noble hop character. Full, round and creamy with perfect carbonation. If this had more aroma, malty sweetness and hop characater, it would be much better.

12 oz bottle purchased from Ocean Wine & Spirits. Pours a transparrent orange with a large off white frothy head. Aroma of spiced malts and a slight touch of honey sweetness as well. Thin bodied with a watery mouthfeel and light carbonation. Bready flavor with noticable maltiness, and a slight bit of sweetness. Pretty standard Octoberfest brew.
