Copper. Nice toasted malt forward with decent hops in the back. Good clean profile without lingering sweetness. Simple and straightforward like Oktoberfest should be.

Nice golden-amber colour, just a slight chill haze. Big head. On the nose, mostly crackery but the nose isn't all that bright. On the palate, it's cracker, biscuit, with a touch of bitterness in the finish. Decent okto.

Draught at Tap & Barrel, Olympic Village; 16oz; 6.3% ABV
Amber color, just hazy, with compact head. They used a very good malt, and you feel it in the aroma and flavor (7.5), with light biscuity qualities, and dry grass, end of summer fields; it’s moderately sweet, it has a round mouthfeel, and the hop is low, as expected, but with light grass feeling.
Very clean. Very good Oktoberfest; within the style it can’t get much better, but I’d like to try a beer with some more noble hops.

On tap at Doan's, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lager yeast, sweet caramel and bready malt. Flavour is dry and malty, with toasted caramel, crusty bread and some light residual sweetness. Well-rounded with good depth, but maybe needs more time, as this style benefits from extended lagering. Good stuff.
