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 ounce bottle. Light amber color. Big rocky white head. Faint toasted malt aroma. Crisp dry toasted malt flavor. Very straight forward bready malt flavor balanced by spicy hops. Slightly fruity yeast attenuation. Very nicely done. A splendid interpretation of the Marzen style.

Draft at Taste of Tops on 11/7/10. Deep, clear golden color, scant head. Aroma is barely detectable. Taste is slightly bitter, but not much else. Couldn’t finish it, even though it was a 4 ounce sample.

Draft - Lots of grain and a bit of orange. Clear orange with a rich beige head. Grains and bread upfront, with a bit of orange and caramel and grains in the finish. There is a nice bitterness throughout that finishes clean

Straw dominates the aroma. Slight lemon background. Pours an amazingly clear tarnished gold with somewhat full white head that looks a little soapy. Wheat and spice dominate flavor profile. Slightly harsh finish.

A golden marzen with a thin white head. In aroma, light powdery caramel malt with mineral notes. In mouth, a smooth caramel malt with light grassy Saaz hops, mineral notes, no oak detected but nice. On tap at Aces and Ales tenaya.
