Spaten Oktoberfest Beer, created in 1872, is the world's first Oktoberfest beer, brewed for the greatest folk festival in the world. Every year, over and over again, countless Oktoberfest visitors share their enthusiasm about this beer. Spaten Oktoberfest Beer is amber in color. This medium bodied beer has achieved its impeccable taste by balancing the roasted malt flavor with the perfect amount of hops. Having a rich textured palate with an underlying sweetness true to tradition.

Woodstock Inn Brewery's Autumn Ale Brew pours a dark reddish brown with almost no head in my case. Smells distinctly of cinnamon and apples oddly enough. Good pumpkin pie filling flavor to start. All the right spices and good balance. Pumpkin flavor is actually present. A little graham cracker flavor follows and then the sweet kick of apple cider finishes off the beer. Very unique flavor and a great fall flavor profile. Different and enjoyable.

Hearty and smooth, brewed with select Moravian malt, Samuel Adams Octoberfest is red to golden amber in color. Primarily malty, slightly fruity with low to medium bitterness.

This one is really a red ale and not a lager. Garnet red with malt flavors and low bitterness. Hug a German!

This Oktoberfest pours an amber color and comes with a slightly off-white head. It is perfectly clear, and that should be 100% expected for the style. On the nose you get your typical Oktoberfest smells; caramel, sweetness, little to no hops. I did not detect any heat in the nose. Brooklyn's also seemed to be a bit more sweet smelling than others that I have tried. On the first taste the sweetness jumped out at me. It was pretty maltly, but not done out of the style. There are some nice bread notes in there which I love as well. The beer has a very nice, smooth finish which made it very drinkable.
