12oz bottle. Pretty decent offering, maybe not as thick and malty as a "traditional" American version, but displays what I believe are some smooth lager tones. Clean, smooth medium golden malts, a touch more of something might have quelled purist demand. Good.

This is some beer. Aroma’so fresh hope, mint, bit of malt. Flavor’s similar to nose, fairly dry, bitter, but the freshness of the hops off sets the bitterness. Great chewy body. Good finish.

Not a bad beer, but not really much of an Oktoberfest. Not traditional and suffers for it. Color is amber. Aroma is fruit, biscuits, crackers, skunk, malt. Flavor’s like nose, plus some tang. Sweet up front, with some rotten fruit, bitter in back. Decent body. Ok finish. I’d have most other Ok’fests before this.

Great intense floral nose. The beer starts fresh and intense piney. The body is sweetish but round, very smooth and easy to drink. Malty, fresh and piney. Hints of earth, floral, round. Nice with a bitter-sweet finish.
