In the early days, the beer consumed during Oktoberfest was the rich, copper-colored lager known as Marzen. But in recent years, the official Oktoberfest lager has morphed into a lighter, golden lager with a moderate malty sweetness and a clean, balancing bitterness. Chuckanut Fest bier emphasizes the use of Vienna malts for a smooth, quaffable fest beer you can drink over and over again toasting multiple times. Prost! GABF Bronze Medal 2019 and other prestigious awards have honored our Fest Bier.

One of the modern very pale interpretations, light bread character, balanced bitterness and a touch of herbaceous hop.

Glass shared with Josh and Phill during a mini-trip organized to help carless Phill pick up his Tavour bottles, some of which had been waiting for him for about a year, hehe.
Aroma: hoppy, crispy, clean.
Taste: along the same lines. Reminded Kölsch but with heavier body and more intense flavour.
Overall: good.

Clear light amber with thin white head. Malty aroma. Light malt flavour with all over tongue finish that leaves you wanting another.

Golden with a white head. Light sweet malt, some zesty hops, a bit of earth, and toast. Medium body with good carbonation. Good stuff.

Draft - Loght grains and a touch of sweetness. Clear pale gold with a decent white head. Sweet, light bitterness and a grainy finish. Nice.

Tap into a shaker showing well filtered golden yellow with a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows extremely subtle and barely perceivable light bready malt. The palate is well carbonated, moderately sweet with light sweet malts on the first impression that evolve into bready grain round malts on the palate and the same on the finish.

Golden clear color. Frothy white head. Nice bready malt, slightly sweet nose. Very clean, sweetish mouth with good cereal notes. Slightly tart sharp finish. Not bad but not great
