Crafted as a flavorful session beer and perfect for autumn, Octoberfest spends a full six weeks fermenting.
With herbal hop aromas, this balanced amber lager focuses on lightly toasted malt that lends body without too much sweetness. Perfect for a week-long wedding celebration in Germany or the start of the Michigan autumn.

On tap at Bennigans in Chicago, October 2011. After long day with flights from DCA to JFK, and then to ORD and walking around in Chicago this was a refreshing beer to enjoy. A solid beer I must say, one of the better Oktoberfest-beers that I have tried.

Clear amber with a small white head. Clean malt aroma. Simple malt profile in the flavor. Pretty solid and straightforward O’Fest.

(bottle) clear deep golden/orange colour, small white head; very faint aroma of honey and citrus; balanced flavour, develops a long medium bitter finish. Not really interesting, but I am not a fan of the style.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark caramel-orange color with a large foamy yellow-white head that produced some lacing. The aroma was light and tangy with a hint of fruity and a faint vegetal note. The flavor was tart, bitter and tangy with light caramel and a touch of vegetal malts. A bit boozy which was surprising. medium length tangy and bitter finish. Medium body. Eh.

Poured from 12 oz bottle, enjoyed while watching a pivotal game in the White Sox vs. Twins series towards the end of the year. This beer goes perfectly with mid-September baseball! Aroma of malt, hints of roast, rather faint. Appearance is a clear amber with a thin head. Taste is very crisp, very nice malty aftertaste and I can definitely taste the hops which I can’t with other Oktoberfest beers. This is a really good one, probably the best I’ve had in the style.

Pours orangish color with white head. Biscuit malt aroma. Bready malt and nutty flavor with some mild hoppiness. Medium body with average carbonation.
