This is the final Oktoberfest review I have for this fall. I know I originally had six, but I took one with me to a brewfest and simply drank it, which reminds me I forgot to do a blog post on that fest.
The aroma is rich in bready and sweet malts along with some piney hops. The aroma of this beer was OK, but just a bit off style. Although on a personal note, I enjoy the hop aroma, this is not appropriate for a traditional Oktoberfest style. (7)

The beer poured a nice clear orange color with a dense frothy head. The clarity was good and overall looks great for an Oktoberfest. (3)

The overall the flavor is a bit weak and very basic. There should be a distinct complex maltyness that I feel is not here in this beer. What malt I do get is an unmistakable biscuit flavor. There is very little sweetness and a  slight caramel flavor which is not right. There should be toffee if anything and I get more along the lines of caramel than toffee.  The beer does finish dry. Bitterness is low with a lingering bitterness that hangs in the back. Overall, not that complex. (12)

Mouthfeel is medium and creamy. Carbonation is good, and there is no astringency. (5)

Overall the beer is good, but is just too much of some qualities per the style, and lacking overall complexity and depth that you see in a world class Oktoberfest. The caramel notes along with the American hop aroma is not right for the style, but does make for a good drinking beer. With a bit more malt complexity, and swapping out the caramel notes for more of a toffee note would do the beer some justice. All in all I enjoyed drinking this beer quite a bit, but for an Oktoberfest it fell a bit short. So I am having conflicting feelings about the overall score. (6)

Overall I give this beer a 33, but would be willing to bump it up a notch or two. On my personal scale a 33 is about  a B- or C+. But don’t get me wrong, this beer is very good, just not great or world class.
