Oktoberfest
The St. George Brewing Company

12 ounce can poured into a shaker pint glass.
Canned 8/8/23

L: Clear amber, 3 finger antique-white head, rocky foam is persistent and leaves some lace.
S: Herbal hops, orange and caramel malt giving it a candied orange aroma, some mineral later.
T: Lowly sweet caramel malt right through, touch of honey, picking up herbal and orange hops on the back, zesty orange finish, medium bitterness.
F: Medium body, moderate carbonation, leans soft but fairly neutral feel overall.
O: Not bad, perhaps a little sweet, more orange than I would like in this style, but easy drinking.

 

12oz can poured into a tulip

A- pours a deep amber color with a one-finger foamy white head that reduces to a ring

S- smells of fall leaves, bread dough, caramel, nutty brown malts, bread crust and a hint of grass

T- sweet and malty up front with notes of caramel and toffee, followed by notes of bread crust, apple, grassy and floral hops. The finish gives more caramel with some peppery hops on the linger

M- medium body with medium carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that continues into a crisp finish

 

 

 

 

Thanks Henry.
This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. Light stringy lacing.
The smell had some rich nutty malts flowing crisp and sweet over light caramel and toffee malts. Smells real nice.
The taste was semi-sweet with an earthy to grassy sweet back up.
The mouthfeel was about a light to medium in body with a slight sessionable sticky sweetness to it. Carbonation runs light.
Overall, as an Oktoberfest made by an American brewer, its not bad but I think I'd go for some others of the style before this one.

 

 

Served in a clear plastic St. George cup, this amber colored beauty was ripe for the sipping. At first dip of the lip into the 39 degree supple cup of bready goodness, my tongue rolled in pulsating waves of joy in its anticipation. Upon the first drop to the last, my pallette was imbued with a cornucopia of flavors. My first reaction was an old nastalgic memory of my father breathing into my supple boy face after having carved a hearty grin into the family pumpkin, his beard all mucky with beer foam and recanting tales of his youth. As the autumnal season was upon us, red yellow and orange hues filled our landscapes and our hearts. This beer has awoken the little boy inside of me who dressed as a ninja turtle, would never forget the day he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and one day drink great beer. This day had arrived today.

12 oz bottle poured in a stemmed glass. Smooth easy drinker, and great for the style.

 

 

 

Appearance: Golden brown with a short white head that fades before I can put the bottle down. Decent transparency...just a bit hazy.

Aroma: A hint of caramel and a distinct but faint spicy hop aroma. It smells clean.

Taste: I get that distinctive crisp "lager flavor" with a hint of sweet bread flavor. In the end there is a tea-like earthy presence and similar tea-like bitterness. A bit of toasty flavor at the end as well.

Mouthfeel: It is very light and refreshing. Low in both bitterness and carbonation, and low presence on the palate overall.

Overall: It seems like this would be a good go-to Oktoberfest. It is very easy to drink and would be great for any kind of party or get together where you want to have a few beers and not fall over. I recommend picking it up and trying it out. If you like Oktoberfest style beers you would probably enjoy it. It's not an over-the-top beer...it's very mellow and laid back because it's an Oktoberfest beer.
