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.

On tap at Chuckanut, pours a crystal clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is very restrained, with very faint German lager yeast notes - not getting much here. Flavour is along the same lines - very dry, rather boring, but very German tasting. Competent and easy drinking, but not overly enjoyable. Lacking character.

Draft at the 192 lake trail. Pours surprisingly light and clear for the style. Almost a cider like pour. Faint malts on the aroma. Thin grassy flavor with some nutty malt finish. Not a bad beer here, very unique for an Oktoberfest. Enjoyable.

Draught at the brewpub, as Festbier 2014, 5.8% ABV, 22 IBU
Hazy blond color. It has a delicate nice aroma of cereals. Smooth mouthfeel, soft, with some cereals flavor, bready, wheaty, and low bitterness, maybe traces of grassy hops.
Like an unhopped Helles more than a Festbier. Pleasant.
