Brewer's Description:We brewed our first Oktoberfest in 2001 to celebrate the fall season in true German fashion. Available August through October each year, our traditional Marzen-style bier is brewed with Munich, Caramel and a blend of Pale malts. Hallertau, Tettnang, Perle, and Cluster hops provide the aroma for this well balanced, smooth, festive lager.
Appearance:Medium brown in color with a caramel colored head.
Aroma:Honestly, I didn't notice. I wasn't really trying to review this one, but I thought I'd write down what I remember.
Taste:Tastes pretty good. Hoppier than something like a Killian's, which is a good thing. Killian's is too sweet for my palate, now. Had pretty good balance of hops and malt.
Mouth Feel:Feel was fine. Rather unremarkable. Might have been served a little too cold. Was drawn into frozen glasses.
Drinkability:Pretty good one, I thought. I wouldn't call it a favorite by any means, but I'd surely get this again. If I could find some in Denver, I might buy some bottles.
Score:7 / 10
