KOSTRITZER Oktoberfest
For those of you used to starting Oktoberfest off with a Spaten (like, for example, most of München), you might find this a bit smoother, and a lot more drinkable if you've had limited experience with Festbiers. It's less amber-colored than most, a lot closer in color to a standard lager, but it still has that malty texture, and it goes down oh so well.

ERDINGER Oktoberfest
The Oktoberfest Weizen has been a tradition in Germany for over 60 years, and is brewed with caramelized barley and wheat malts. An Oktoberfest/hefeweizen hybrid - how could this possibly taste? Well, exactly as it sounds. Since this is a wheat beer the most noticeable aspect to the palate is its grainy side. It's very clean-tasting with only trace amounts of sweetness to the flavor. What is noticeable is the inclusion of marzen-style malts, especially caramel. It all adds up to form a really unique, although slightly dry taste.

 
SAMUEL ADAMS Octoberfest
Primarily malty, slightly fruity with low to meduim bitterrness. Pairs nicely with grilled, light- colored meats, like grilled turkey, chicken, or pork. It would also go well with beef stew and some other meat dishes.

LEINENKUGEL'S Oktoberfest
Leinenkugel's Oktoberfest is a traditional German Marzen-style bier brewed with Munich, Caramel and a blend of 2-row Pale malts. These barley malts give Leinie's Oktoberfest a rich, hearty character and deep amber color. Four hop varieties provide an aromatic and smooth, well-balanced lager.

AUGUST SCHELL'S Octoberfest
"August Schell's Annual Octoberfest beer just keeps getting better and better. It is big, full bodied, complex, balanced, smooth and delicious. It's hard to ask a beer to be all of those, but it is."
-James D Robertson, author, A Connoisseurs Guide To Beer.

CAPITAL BREWERY Oktoberfest
This traditional marzen beer shows off a gorgeous, fiery amber color. The flavor emphasizes a rich, almost "toasted" flavor from the malt. A classic style beer.
