Oaktoberfest is a true German Märzen bier, brewed with premium imported Pilsner and Vienna malts. It’s spiced with Bavarian hops from the Fatherland, and fermented with the famous Bavarian Augustiner Lager yeast from Munich. We utilized German Hallertauer traditions for both bittering and aroma additions, adding a rich, noble hop presence to this beer.

12 oz can from John, thanks man, 9/14/23. Clear caramel-orange color with a foamy froth of off-white head and some decently strong lace on the mug. Caramel, toffee, dough, grains, mild notes of wood, and some light spice as well. Sweet, but not sticky. Fairly clean. Easy drinking. Nothing to write home about, but it's a solid brewski.

A pretty solid Oktoberfest, with a mild oak twist. Pleasant zesty noble hop tone up front leads to clean, fresh, medium malt tones. The oak imparts a mild vanilla toastiness. Really enjoyable beer all around.

Decent enough Oktoberfest in more of the traditional style as it's not so sweet with a bit of toast coming through. On the other hand the oak doesn't do it any favors and there's a little bit more bitterness than needed.

Tap into a crowler at JR's. On sale for overstock for $3, heheheh. Decent initial fest response and then it goes a little cloying. A clear pale fest fer sher. Getting used to it in the middle. Not bad overall.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy amber-orange with a medium, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces nicely. Light aroma of bready malt, grain, caramel and orange. Sweet flavour of bready malt, caramel, grain, orange and a hint of honey with a crisp, dry, bitter grass finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Not bad, easy drinking.
