The limited edition NOVO Oktoberfest Brew was created to honor the annual Oktoberfest. While enjoying our own celebration we made a slight "mistake" and brewed a Westcoaster HopOktoberfest! We hope you enjoy our very dry and fresh version! Sorry, Germans! Prost!

Kind of had been putting this one back, but was time on this night after a pair of IPAs. A fan of NOVO Brazil, even though their beer almost never quite lives up to the hype for me.

Poured a medium amber-to-copper clear color with one finger of fizzy khaki-white head. Calm setting underneath the head. Decent spotty lacing. Average retention. (Sight - 3.50)
Smelled an unappealing mix of hops and malts. In particular got Cascade, butterscotch, caramel, toffee, orange and even espresso. (Smell - 3.50)
Taste wasn’t that much better. In order got butterscotch, caramel, toffee, nuts and espresso. (Taste - 3.25)
Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Bitter finish. (Feel - 3.50)
Not a fan of this one at all. Would not have again. (Overall - 3.50)
