Oktoberfest is our seasonal Marzen Style Lager. Originally brewed a couple of hundred years ago to celebrate the betrothal of the Crown Prince of Bavaria, we’re helping keep the tradition alive by brewing Oktoberfest every fall for our most royal/loyal followers. Blue Point Oktoberfest is a rare example of the traditional German Oktoberfest style, particularly on the East coast where autumn seasonals are more common.

re-rate. For whatever reason I liked the bottled version way better than a nasty draft I had year. A passably good malty oktoberfest. One of the better blue points.

355ml bottle. Clear, orangey, dark golden to amber colour with small to average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Minimally spicy, malty aroma, hints of grain, caramel, some husk. Taste is mellow malty, a touch of caramel and malt lozenge, cream, toffee. Very smooth and soft palate.

Pours a clear dark gold color with a thin beige head and fair retention. No lacing. Old bottle? Amber ale aroma. Malty caramel flavor with a short finish. Not as smooth as other Oktoberfest beers. Simple. Decent.

Pours dark amber with a white foamy head. Aroma of yeast and bread. Tastes like malt wheat. Palate includes malt, yeast, nuts and cloves. Reminiscent of a dunkelweizen. Good beer, my first Märzen.

Pour is a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is a chewy marzen malt. Not much there but going in the right direction. Flavor is a decent bready malt with a bit of sweetness. Not a full heavy malt mouthfeel, this is more of a marzen lite. Decent but a bit thin. Better than the score on here.

At Het Haasken in Diest, the owner of which apparently got a bottle from a friend who visited New York and was kind enough to sell it to me. Stable, snow white, thin head over a cristal clear, orange blonde beer with lively fizz. Aroma of caramel, toasted bread (even ’croque monsieur’), ’natural’ iron, bread crust, cooked corn, some burning rubber (DMTS?). Clean, sweet and sourish onset, no esters as expected from a lager, smooth caramelly maltiness with toasted edge, lightly bready, soft herbal hop accent far away in the finish along with a plastic-like chemical accent. Feels rather industrial, I had way better examples of this straightforward malty lager style - from Germany.
