Pours light copper color with off white head. Grainy malt aroma. Slightly sweet caramel flavor with a mildly bitter finish. Medium body with above average carbonation.

pours golden clear, white head. Aroma and flavor, pale malts, light hops with hints of spices, some caramel and brown sugar. Hop profile is subtle followed by the malt with a light bitter finish.

Bottle. This has a thin-looking coppery amber body and supports a minimal head. Aromas are kind of grainy with a touch of honey and caramel sweetness. Flavor is similar, but has a bit of booziness to it that lends a touch of astringency.

Bottled. Had a nice dark malty look and taste. But the mouthfeel was a little watery, so it couldn’t hold its own in our tasting of many Oktos. Noted more melanoidins than in other beers. Light mouthfeel meant its taste overall was lighter. Also had a hard water profile you don;t find in Bavarian Oktos, which allowed the hops to taste a little spicier.

Crystal clear orange/dark golden colour with a decent dense off-white head. Smells of sweetness, fennel (anise), grapes and malt are all evident in the aroma. Medium-bodied; Strong sweetness up front with a subtle spicey character hanging around. Aftertaste shows more of the malt character and a bit of the spiceyness. After the beer warms up for a bit, a slight appley and peach sweetness comes out of the beer and is very nice. Overall, this is a bit better than average for the style, and should be had by people if available! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

A pretty nondescript Oktoberfest. Has a straw-colored/golden body with a thin, clumping off-white head. Aroma is light, fruity, and almost floral. Flavor is delicate malt sweetness and just a hint of fruitiness. There are better Oktoberfests.
