Oktoberfest
Old Capitol Brew Works and Public House

Poured a darker gold, like a pilsener, with a small head. Not at all what you'd expect from the style.

Smells like underbrewed malt. That's it. Soap and harsh fruit and seltzer water.

Tastes like it smells, only with a tiny kick of bock malt in the back to try and save everything. Soap starts it out, which moves into a more bitter soap, and ends on a light marzen malt.

Unimpressive, to say the least. I usually expect more out of Old Capitol.

I was quite impressed by this Oktoberfest. One of the better O'fests I've tried this year, and brewed only a few blocks away.

The beer pours to the typical rusty amber color with a nice fluffy white head. Doesn't leave any lacing. Still well carbonated even though this is reviewed from a growler.

The smell is of caramelized munich malts. A bit of a spicy noble hop on the nose, but mostly malty.

The taste is sweet with biscuity caramelized malts. Still nice and hoppy in the finish. Quite refreshing.

The mouthfeel is a bit light. Very smooth with a medium body and a light creaminess. Has a bit of a bite from spicy hops and carbonation. Drinkability is huge though. Went through the whole growler with no problem.
