Any good German will tell you this classic, malty brew is best enjoyed with friends. The comically oversized mug? Optional, but encouraged. Regardless of vessel, the roasted Munich malts in our Oktoberfest will keep you in good spirits all autumn long.

Bottle at Flight Restaurant and Wine Bar, Memphis, TN
A: The beer is clear yellowish orange in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high off white head that left a thin collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas o toasted malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of roasted malts with bits of caramel and hints of spicy hops.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is a slight bit lighter in body compared with other beers in the style but has the typical aromas and flavors of a traditional Oktoberfest.

Light clear gold color with white cap and step lacing as the glass is drained.
Aroma is primarily sweet malt, a bit caramely, with spicy floral hops in the background.
Taste is rich malt forward with the lightly sweet malt backed up by slightly roasted munich malt which gives it a bit of a toasty roasty taste. Hops hang in the background until the finish where they put a snap closure on the aftertaste. Malt comes right up to the edge of over richness when pulled up short by the hops which hold a firm grasp on the leash to the end.
Texture is fuller than medium but it's a restrained weight.
Overall this is a good effort deserving a B grade. It doesn't really do more than what the other B grade Oktoberfest do but it's worth at least a try or two.
