Made using the best Canadian barley malts available – Superior Pils, Superior Pale, Vienna and Munich - Wild Rose Oktoberfest has a rich malt flavour. The complex sweetness from these specialty malts is well balanced with two Noble hop varieties – Tettnanger for bittering and Saaz for aroma and flavour.
True to the Oktoberfest style, this brew was cold fermented with a blend of three German lager yeasts which add to the complexity. After three weeks in the fermentation tank, this brew was cold conditioned for an additional six weeks.

My third different Oktoberfest lager in three days - nothing like getting into the spirit of the season...
This beer appears a clear medium copper hue, with a thin cap of wispy white head, which leaves nary a speck of lace as it quickly melts away. It smells of crisp biscuit and toffee malt, and floral, weedy hops. The taste is sweet bready caramel malt, a bit of yeast, some mild sugary citrus, and earthy, herbal hops. The carbonation is moderate, but kind of spritzy, the body medium weight, and sticky on the palate. It finishes quite dry, some toast and floral hints still evident.
A pretty decent fall beer, for that prototypical Calgary fall day where the sun says summer, but the wind says winter...
