Golden in color, described by the brewery as "Munich Type" and having "a uniquely soft, hoppy aftertaste" more characteristic of the Festbier style. A truly German import brewed according to the German Purity Law, as are all Warsteiner beers, in limited quantities especially for Oktoberfest celebrations. This special edition has a well-balanced, mild and smooth taste with a uniquely soft, hoppy aftertaste and 5.9% alcohol. So bring a bit of Germany with you to your next Oktoberfest celebration and bring a Warsteiner Oktoberfest Special Edition.

11.2 oz can(s) poured into a can glass. Pee yellow with ok foam.
Aroma is caramel malt and bread.
Tastes well-balanced, mild and smooth with a soft, hoppy aftertaste and 5.9% alcohol.
Fine mouthfeel, mid carbonation.
Overall, a decent Festbier, especially at $15.99 for a 24 pack!

On tap at Crust Alpharetta Oct 2023

Does not resemble typical Oktoberfest style at all; slightly sweet and hoppy, almost like a poor belgian ipa

This was a bit different than I expected.
It resembles more a Festbier than an Oktoberfest.
That said, I thoroughly enjoyed it, more so than their standard offering.
This one is easy to have several of without becoming full or bloated.
I'll definitely get it again next year.

It pours a golden yellow into the glass with a moderate head and lacing. There is a light bready smell. The body is slightly fuller than some other festbiers and it is balanced with a hoppy aftertaste. The carbonation is relatively light so the mouthfeel is smooth and not biting. Overall it is at minimum a very good beer. The "okay" rating does not make sense because it is at least as good as other festbiers.

Translucent gold body with a large, off white head that left good lacing. Bready, moderately sweet aroma with a touch of floral hops. Smooth malt focused taste that does not skimp on the hops as they thrive in the aftertaste. Nicely carbonated, medium bodied mouthfeel. Thinking of this one as less marzen and more 'fest'. A real treat.
