Our Oktoberfest is brewed with a blend of light and dark Munich Malts, which not only add to its depth but deliver a residual sweetness. Caramel and toffee notes linger but are balanced by the subtle hops additions in this beer. We use Hallertau and Tettnanger hop add a floral yet peppery aroma to this beer. It’s our take on this traditional fest beer.

Nice feel,medium light body with about average carbonation
Aroma is malt,bread, doughy yeasty dark bread
Taste is almost dry with a bit of a hop bitter bite. Otherwise there's some malt,bread,molasses.
Tough to pick up everything going on with this one and it seemed to be a little more bitter than others in this style I've tried. This is still a solid brewery and was an enjoyable beer.

A very nice solid basic Octoberfest for the everyday drinker. Nothing too strong. A nice ale for the fall season. Quite drinkable.

Poured from a 12 oz can, dated BB 11/23/23 into the test glass
A - medium amber color, excellent clarity, a quick pour yields a 2 inch white cap.
S - Grainy malts, a hint of cut grass, dark toast, with a hint of caramel
T - Follows the nose, add to this a bit more of the grassy hops
M - Lte on the palate, crisp, with a sweet center, excellent dry finish
O - A very approachable Marzen, with all the elements in fine proportion

Sent my direction by @WunderLlama during NBS BIF #16.


Very heady on the pour. Lots of wet bubbles in the body as well. Lovely clear caramel body.

Nose is toasty and bright with floral/spicy hop notes. Creamy bready malts and a little bit of caramel sweet.

Bitter up front with that same floral/spicy jump, but also a bit of lemon citrus. Toasty malts and some honey sweetness that meets the floral note from the hops to create a lovely little third act.

Moderate dry body with a finish that builds to be quite bitter in an earthy manner.

This is quite enjoyable, thanks for sending it my way Maynard!
