In 1810, the Oktoberfest tradition was born when Munich celebrated the Crown Prince’s wedding with a special beer and 16 day party. Our version of this classic style blends rich malts for a hearty, smooth flavor with notes of caramel creating a brew that’s perfect for the season, or whatever you’re celebrating.

Poured from 355mL bottle (from Graceland grocery store - thanks mom! 5.3% abv). Clear copper with full beige head. Mild caramel malt, light breadiness, feint nutiness. A bit bland. Average.

Many thanks to Colette for the bottle at our Mustang, OK Airbnb. Clear amber, thin, off-white head. Aroma of caramel, biscuit, pistachio, plum, brown bread, banana. Taste has sweet plum & banana over a caramelly, bit nutty, bready malt base. Herbal hoppy finish with dried fruits and caramel. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Perfectly drinkable, nothing more.

0,33 bottle. The new red label is quite showy. The beer is brownish red, interesting, a little cloudy. Sparklingly carbonated, the head is is creamy and nice, and then thinly stays for a while. The aroma is malty, as well as sweet-alcoholic-caramel. As it warms up, it becomes more and more fruity, as it "befits". It is also quite carbonated in a sip, not too full-bodied. Caramel, malty, sweet, alcoholic, like its aroma. Almost no bitterness. Acceptable, in fact, quite a delicious old style Oktoberfest. A little "sugary" sweet, I would have added a little more hops, but it's not bad. Interesting, not like the Germans, much more caramel-flavored. Oh, and the beer was a gift straight from the States. Thanks for that! :) It's definitely worth drinking it warmer than ice cold

Az új piros cimke elég mutatós. A sör barnásvörös, érdekes, kicsit zavaros. Pezsgően szénsavas, hab kitöltéskor krémszínű és szép, majd vékonyan meg is marad egy darabig. Illata malát, valamint édeskés-alkoholos- karamelles. Ahogy melegedett egyre gyümölcsösebb, ahogy "illik". Kortyra is elég szénsavas, nem túl testes. Karamelles, malátás, édeskés, alkoholos, mint az illata. Keserűség szinte semmi. Elfogadható, sőt, egész finom old style októberfest. Kicsit "cukrosan" édes, egy kis komlót még adtam volna neki, de így sem rossz. Érdekes, nem olyan mint a németek, jóval karamell-ízűbb. Ja, és a sör ajándék volt egyenesen az államokból. Köszönet érte! :) Mindenképp érdemes a jéghidegnél melegebben inni.

12 oz bottle. Copper-reddish pour wit a small off-white head that soon fades away. The aroma is spicy with straw, thyme, pepper and earth. The taste is caramel malts set nicely in a semi-spicy base. The palate is full and even. The carbonation is soft. Finishes clean. Overall Good stuff.

Aroma malt, gjær, sitrondrops. Utseende klar gylden/kopper med lett skum som forsvinner fort. Smak malt, fruktighet, noe karamell. Maltpreget med fruktighet og medium fylde, en god en. Smakt Nov-17
