Stoudts Brewing Company - Stoudt's Oktoberfest

What better, or more traditional way to celebrate Octoberfest than with Marzen, a beer that not only has a unique name but also arrives bearing a signature foil Oktoberfest label? This is an authentic Oktoberfest "bier." It’s brewed with a combination of Two-row pale, Dark Munich and Dextrin Pale malts which add to the beer’s body and head retention. Look for a crisp, malty and somewhat biscuity nose in this medium-bodied, deep copper-colored, filtered Marzen. We found it to start with a complex sweet maltiness with moves into a nicely balanced crisp hoppiness ending with more malt as the style dictates. Overall, this is a classic interpretation of the style.
