Brownish amber in color with a tan head.
Fruity aroma with plenty of rich, sweet malt.

Taste is very fruity. Sweet, roasty malt. Tart. Hops there to balance. Although this one was decent, it tasted way too much like apple cider rather than an Oktoberfest beer.

Decent mouthfeel and drinkability.

Served as a sample at River City Ale Works. The color was amber, with a bit of nice head. The smell was fruity. The taste was very citrusy hops, with no malt body to speak of. Mouthfeel was terribly thin. As for drinkability, if I wanted a pale ale, I'd get a pale ale.

How they called this one an Oktoberfest is beyond me...I only listed it as one since that's what it was claimed to be. Not good at all, and another one I'd like to see disappear.
