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

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...

Bottle. Amber with a light beige head that fades to a coat. Aroma of toffee, bread, toasted nuts. Taste has toffee and nuts, but despite richness it’s not very sweet and has balancing bitterness with mild spices. Solid if unspectacular.

Poured clear amber with a decent head. Bready aroma with sweet malt and smooth finish. Victory makes some great beers, this is a good one for everyday in October.

Caramel and a little orange in the aroma. More sweet caramel in the taste. This is a little sweeter than I like, but it has more flavor than you typically get in an Oktoberfest, and it’s still an easy drinker.

Hay, nuts, Roasty not bad but there are certainly better. The starting is quickly overshadowed by a bland but lingering finish

callmemickey (710) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 1, 2012
Reviewed from notes (2007). A: Amber brown body with a thick healthy cream white head. S: Strong malt aromas power through with a dash of hops in the back end T: The malt aroma is manifested in a rich malty taste. Caramel comes through a bit towards the middle and a strong roasted finish. M: Creamy mouthfeel that sits on the palate with a bit of carbonation. O: Very refreshing... first had this at Victory’s Fall Fest... fresh and lovely on a warm fall day.

bblack99 (505) - Kansas City, Missouri, USA - DEC 6, 2011
12oz bottle from an October trip to Colorado. Simply the best American-made Oktoberfest beer out there...nutty, roasted caramel malts dominate both aroma and flavor, with a refreshing crisp dryness from Saaz hops at the finish. Clear honey orange with a moderate white head and well-balanced carbonation.

scarletfire65 (420) - Rockaway Park, New York, USA - NOV 26, 2011
Clear honey brown pour. Medium head dissipated rather quickly. Aroma is nutty, bready, caramel, spice. Flavor profile mirrors the nose, with a nice spice character - cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spices. Sweet throughout, dries up a bit on the finish. The finish is crisp and clean. Average.
