Oktoberfest / Märzen

Our fall seasonal beer, Bob’s ’47 Oktoberfest is a medium-bodied, dark amber brew with a malty flavor and well-balanced hop character. With this Munich-style lager we salute our friend Bob Werkowitch, Master Brewer and graduate of the U.S. Brewer’s Academy, 1947.

Bottle of 47 from chalet. Taste is typical okto-fest marzen. It seems a little bold at first then it starts to mellow out a little. It looks very nice with all its gentle bubbling and such in the glass. In the middle its getting almost enjoyable. Carbonation on the palate is almost acceptable as well. Decent finish. Not bad overall.

Solid marzen, malty but brisk, offering up deep caramel and nutty flavors while keeping mild apple esters and a moderate noble hop bite on the back end. Never quite reaches the malt depths you want it to, but it also refrains from growing cloy, and the floral hoppiness makes for a bright, clean finish. Decent festbier nose, and the pour is a lovely orange-red with a slight head and modest lace. Sparkly texture with a hint of oily clinginess. Not bad.

Bottled@SBWF2015. Amber colour, small off-white head. ARoma is fruity, floral, wooden and some mild bready and caramelly notes. Flavour is quite similar, but also has a nice crisp malty edge to it. Tasty and easy to drink.

Bottled at SBWF. Clear amber, minimal head. Doughy nose with buttery malt. Mid sweet with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Richly malty with bread and butter. Low bitterness. Good, rich festbier!

Bottle. A- Malty, spice, wheat. A- Pale orange color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Malty, spice, slightly woody.. P- Light body, average texture, medium carbonation, malty finish. O- This was a little past the best by date but I still did’t expect it to be this bland and unbalanced. Just tasted really malty and not a lot of anything else. Very disappointing. Better as it warms.

12oz bottle poured into a Blvd Tulip. Pours a pretty hue: amber brown with a faint rose hue. Small tight head fades into a small lacing. Clear beer with a bit of carbonation right in the middle. Pretty color. Aroma is bready and toasted lagered malts. Clean with no off flavor, beautiful. Just a little bit of a fruity hop aroma, not bitter. Flavor is great with sweet malts, not sugary, not even caramel but sort of toasted caramel light. Just a nice light fruit and bitter hop finish. Beautifully, clean and full of flavor. Great Vienna, not O’fest.
