An intricate blend of American and European malt for a light amber color and soft, bready malt flavor with a crisp finish and no residual sweetness.

I got a can of this beer off the single shelf from a beer store in LaCrosse, WI. It poured a clear copper with thin white head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had caramel malt notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with caramel malt base and hop bitter finish. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

L: Creamy, rocky white head that stays for a decent amount of time then fades to a surface level lace that sticks around. Light orange/ dark yellow with a tiny bit of haze.
S: sour malty aroma with peppery hops, honey, bread.
T: sweet sourdough bread with a small bit of pepper-y spice.
F: Very smooth, nice carbonation, medium body, a little dehydrating.
O: A nice Oktoberfest, definitely not the best brewed by wisconsin breweries but this was out before staghorn was. This honestly feels more like a full flavored lager than a true oktoberfest but it is very drinkable and enjoyable.

Bottled 8/16/16; drank 9/22/16 @ the Yarchives.

See-through dull orange appearance; champagne bubbles throughout.

A rough pour yielded a minimal white head; almost no lace.

Roasted corn, mild caramel & faint baking soda notes in the nose.

Medium thick mouthfeel; syrup-y.

Acorn, mild brown sugar & faint maple syrup flavors; sweet & syrup-y.

This flirts with being cloying; drinkable but not much fun.

12oz bottle, pours copper in color with a tight & creamy ivory head that holds good retention. Malty aroma with toasty grain, caramel, bread, and spicy hops. Good flavors with notes of sweet caramel malt, grain, honey, and modest spicy & earthy hops. Smooth & very creamy body, clean finish that is more sweet than bitter. Some really good flavors here, but ends up being just a little too sweet in my opinion.

Served in a Lagunitas mason jar.

What better way to celebrate leaving a soul-crushing job after four years than with an O-Fest, eh? This one pours a clear brass-copper topped by a finger of off-white foam. The nose comprises light dried caramel, mild bread, mild grass, flowers, and a bit of toasted biscuit in there for the fun of it. The taste is a solid mix of grassy hops and mild caramel-covered biscuits. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a fluid feel. Overall, a solid O-Fest, nothing too outstanding or anything, but highly drinkable.

Poured 12 oz bottle into a half liter Stein. Nice copper color. Good bread, malty taste. More dry and crisp, not super sweet or carmely. Lighter and no after taste. That's not good or bad -- and is why this Octoberfest for me is just "good." Would drink more, however, as I love the marzen style.
