No season is as synonymous with beer as autumn, when the most storied beer festival of them all, Oktoberfest, takes place in Munich, Germany. Since 1810, this celebration of good food, good company, and, most importantly, good beer, has most prominently featured Marzen-style lager–so much so that many refer to the beer simply as Oktoberfest. Our Oktoberfest is a traditional Bavarian lager featuring all-German malts and rare German hops. This dedication to authenticity produces a beer that would be as at home in Munich as it is here in the Midwest United States. The aroma is authentic, the taste sweet and malty, and the finish crisp and hoppy; perfect for a beautiful fall day!

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear gold with a finger of off-white foam that lingers. Lovely biscuit and light hoppy aromas. Smooth biscuit notes with light caramel and lingering pepper on the finish. Very good.

12 ounce bottle from Woodman’s Menomenee Falls, 9/3/16. Clear copper, large foamy tan head. Average retention. Aroma of caramel malt and a hint of stone fruit. The taste is caramel malt, earthy hops and a bit of fruitiness. Medium bodied, well balanced.

Nice bottle supplied by queen holly. Thanks! Clear yellow with active carbonation. Thick cap of head. Flavor of malt, nuts, caramel, and mild hops with a dry finish. Authentic German yeast or malts, or both. The flavor makes me dream of Germany, really nice job for recreating a classic stlye.

12 oz bottle purchased as a single at Keg Liquors in Clarksville, Indiana. The pour is clear golden copper with a smaller off white head. The aroma is caramel and hay malt, along with a dry grassy character. The taste is straightforward with the caramel malt with the grassy hops. Standard Oktoberfest flavors. The palate is medium bodied with very low, almost still, carbonation and a sweet grassy slight clove finish. Not sure this was in the best shape.
