Overall: Wow this one must be new. Fulton is a great brewery, but so many Oktoberfests are only average. This one is quite good. Nice baked bread with sweet honey flavors. Leans sweet, but has the honey and baked bread flavors to talk the talk. Leans sweet, but very smooth. (Rating: 4.21, will have to try more)
