I've enjoyed a variety of products from The People's Pint in recent years while traveling in western MA but this is my first opportunity to try their Oktoberfest. Comes in a very attractively labeled 16 oz. can that caught my eye in the cooler. I particularly enjoy Fest styled beers so didn't hesitate to pick up a 4-pack rather than just a single can.
Glad I made that decision as IMO the beer lived up to its can statement of being an "authentic Festbier'. As a fan of Festbiers in general, it seemed to me that its presentation and blend of malty/hoppy flavors were what I'd hopefullyexpect from this historic style. The 6% ABV seems a bit higher than some Fests but very appropriate for this one. Overall, the best Fest I've tried this year and I'll be seeking it again on my next trip to MA.

500ml swing top bottle dated 2016-09-14. ABV 6%. Clear golden amber with a nice beige head with lacing. Smells malty, a little sweet. Taste is clean and malty with only a little bitterness. Mouthfeel is smooth with just a little bite of carbonation. Overall, this is an attractive beer that is very drinkable.

A - Seved in a pint glass from tap at the Peoples Pint. Medium amber, tight head, with almost no lacing.
S - Warm bread rising, malts and some slight spice. Really pleasant.
T - That malty feeling, with a snap in the middle and a lingering finish. Beautiful balance.
M - Sails by the tounge, along the way a wonderful sweet, sharp contrast. This is complex and true to form. Highly quaffable.
O - One of the better Octoberfest from a brew pub I have had. A great true to style beer.
Fine Job from "The Pint"

German-style refillable growler filled at People's Pint yesterday.
First imperial pint glass pours with a 1/4" beige head, which quickly fades and retreats to the rim. Lacing is long-lasting over the clear darkish amber brew. Aroma is pretty balanced, but tending towards malt. Flavor is hearty grain husks, rich through the middle, and a crisp close. Mouthfeel is soft over the tongue, and drinkability is high, very easy. Fits the bill for the style, for sure.

Thought it seemed a little too early to have it out but People's Pint had their Oktoberfest out. The beer had a clear, orange-red color to it with no real lacing. Aromas were generally yeasty with hints of fall spice. Taste had a generally bittersweet taste to it. Mouthfeel had a good crispness and body to it, making it refreshing. Overall, pretty good.
