Purchased as a 12 oz single from Total Wine, Kennesaw, GA, USA.
So, it’s the season for delicious, malty, full bodied Oktoberfests and some delcious Pumpkin brews. All of them with great color and body and plenty of taste. Then comes this….oh dear.
I don’t like Warsteiner beers in general, so I was dubious, but I couldn’t resist at least trying it once. Pours with a fizzy macro lager like look, and drinks pretty much like a strong, Euro, macro/adjunct lager. Nasty. Over carbonated fizz, extreme sweetness with a sickly edge that reminds me of a low quality malt liquor. Absolutely no body, and as far as I can tell no Marzen character. Malts are missing, and the body is AWOL.
Oktoberfest? You’re joking aren’t you??
