Stoudt’s Oktober Fest beer is brewed in Adamstown,
Pennsylvania. This beer weighs in at 5%
ABV with an unlisted amount of IBU’s. I
got this beer from Mark Pyle who is a member of the Erie Better Beer Bureau and
I cannot wait to try this brew. Thanks
Mark!
Appearance- With an
aggressive pour 3.5 fingers of tiny bubbled head formed on this beer. Very little head retention. This beer is totally see through and is a
nice light amber color. This beer is
highly carbonated the bubbles just lay on the glass.
Smell- Well, I do not
get a whole lot off the aroma. I get a
slight breadiness with a malt sweetness on the back of the nose. I actually smell a little bit of hop presence
on the nose. Really, not a whole lot on
the nose.
Taste- It is
interesting. I get a tiny bit of toasted
malt with very little sweetness on the back end. Very little taste on this beer other than a
hint of biscuit and bread on the finish.
The grains are all that is detectable really.
Mouthfeel- This is
the wateriest beer I have ever had especially for an Oktoberfest beer. This beer is highly sessionable and
incredibly easy drinking. The low ABV
makes this a huge sessionable beer.
Really though way to light on the mouthfeel.
Overall, I do not really enjoy this beer. It is very watery and does not have a whole
lot of taste. The only thing it has
going for it is high drinkability and could be a transition beer for BMC fans. I will never seek out this beer again. CHEERS!
