GettnHuge 2 Posted October 5, 2007 :thumbsup: First time trying it, bought a 6pack today and just finished one off. I usually just have 1 drink per day. I'm definitely going back to buy a couple more packs. Unlike the barf that is Miller Chilled, THIS IS A GRETA BEER! It's kinda copper/bronze colored with a big frothy head. The taste is sorta like a sweet malty-caramel flavour with a very slight bite to it. Goes down very easy. Me likey! Try it sometime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IrishDrunk 0 Posted October 5, 2007 It is quite good, however, I recently picked up something even better, IMO: Warsteiner Oktoberfest. It was fantastic. I liked it more then Sam's....Sam's always has an aftertaste that is annoying to me, personally - Warsteiner was much smoother... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had 6 of the Oktoberfest at...Oktoberfest. Swell. I especially like the Warsteiner dunkel. I happen to be a dunkelweiss fan in general. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first 12 pack I bought was a little off, almost slightly flat in taste compared to last year. Then the next case I bought was phenomenal. Warstiner's is VERY good, but Sam's is the best.

Just picked a 6er up on friday and it looked darker and tasted rich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GettnHuge 2 Posted October 10, 2007 Am halfway through a Beck's Oktoberfest and it's meh. I stopped by a buddy's house earlier after shopping and getting some more SAO. So we swapped a bottle of each. It's ok but definitely not too greta. A similar copper color but with a slight red tint to it, this beer definitely has more bite to it and none of the sweet caramel flavour. SAO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pingpong 0 Posted October 10, 2007 We had a happy hour at my place a few weeks back, and I bought about 6 Oktoberfest's. Warsteiner was definitely the crowd favorite. Becks was good, but not as good as last year. Sam Adams was also very good Flying Fish Octoberfish was excellent Flying Dog was meh. Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest was a top 3. Spaten was good. Saranac was meh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
