This traditional Oktoberfest style lager is brewed using the finest German malts, decoction mashing and noble hops. Oktober Fuel has an aroma that is dominated by complex malt characteristics including bready, biscuity and slightly toasty. It is light amber to dark orange in color, with a beautiful, long lasting off-white head. Starting with a complex malt sweetness this beer will finish crisp and dry. Oktober Fuel has a nice spicyness of noble hops to balance the malt complexity this style is known for.

Ratios are all out of whack; toned-down bread and caramel, but the Noble hop presence is amped up to a unwieldy degree, turning the pint overly floral and bitter, almost perfume-y. Interesting, but using Nobles so aggressively makes for an odd märzen.

Can. Amber body. Frothy off-white head, diminishing. Aroma of toasted grain, light bread, caramel, plastic. Lightly sweet start. Bitter finish. Medium body, watery/sticky texture, lively carbonation. Flavor of grain, chemical, light chlorine aftertaste. Way too much bitterness for a marzen or even a fest beer. That combined with off-putting, clunky flavors put this in the drain pour category.

Blue can. Nice clear orangy pour. Typical mild perfumy sweet beer nose. Stronger festy flavors. Yes, very marzenlike. Sweet cloying beery flavor. It feels more like 6+% dude. Gets near bad-ass in the middle, hehehehh. Bitter malt session finish. Difficult to endure at times. Got this for a buck & a half at kroger, walton kentucky. Good deal! However, this has a long way to go to match up with favorites like Climax Hoffmann, Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen, Voodoo The James Brown or even Assawoman Bay MD; which are all in the same style. YEAH

Bottle. Nutty caramel malt and hay aroma. Dark amber with giant light tan head. Mildly sweet caramel malt and moderately bitter herbal hay flavor. Good body. Mild acidic finish. Pretty good.
