Stoudt's Oktober Fest Beer Review #craftbeer #beermail

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!
