Oktoberfest in Munich is one of the world’s largest beer-drinking festivals & a great excuse to celebrate the changing seasons. Bust out the lederhosen, & fill your tummy with some Schweinebraten, but most importantly, pour yourself a traditional German-style beer.

Noctoberfest is a malty amber lager with notes of biscuit and soft pretzel. We keep this one light, so you can hang out with your friends in the biergarten all day. Prost!

Not a fan of Fest but this one was good. Very toned down on the sweet with a light bitter in the finish. Bready earthy slight caramel sweetness . This was a gift and I drank from the undated can so no idea what this looked like. I would buy it if I saw it.

From the 12 oz can in a snifter, and bought from the brewery while visiting
with Bluejacket74---Cheers Brother!

This solid little fest pours a clear amber with a nice head of white foam
that settles to a thick ring, thin film layer, and displays some light lacing.
Nose of caramel, subtle breaded malts, honey, and light herbal hops.
Flavors follow the nose with caramel, floral hop touches with light herbal notes,
honey malt hints, and light breaded touches. Nice mouth feel; medium
body, medium light carbonation, and a balanced finish of hop and malt
that is subtly dry.

Overall-----a solid session fest I would love to have again.

Solid!

Cheers

12 ounce can, no dating on the can that I noticed but I'm pretty sure this is the 2020 batch. Can label says 5% ABV, 20 IBU. Served in a dimpled mug, the beer pours a mostly clear amber color with about a half inch off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both decent enough. Aroma is nice, the brew smells like bready malt, apple and some light herbal hops. Taste is pretty much like the aroma, but with the addition of some caramel. I thought the bready/biscuity malt flavor was the strongest, it's a maltier tasting brew to me. Mouthfeel/body is light/medium, it's smooth, a bit slick and easy enough to drink. I thought this was a solid festbier, certainly worth picking up if you come across some! $9.99 a 6-pack.

I tried this beer at the brewery. It poured a clear amber with thin white head that eventually dissipated and left no lace. The scent had faint sweet malt notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with smooth caramel malt base and subtle bitter hop finish. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a good beer.
