The final Oktoberfest review for this year is the Firestone Oaktoberfest. Lets see where this California brewer comes in on the competition. Coming directly from their site.
“Oaktoberfest is our oak-inspired homage to the great German tradition of Oktoberfest. We go the extra mile of maturing this beer in French oak barrels to create an amazingly smooth mouthfeel. The result is a classic German Fest Bier with a hint of West Coast hoppiness. Grab your stein, don your lederhosen and enjoy!.”
Appearance: I really like the dark blue label and the small shield with alot of detail. It looks intimidating and the Oaktoberfest really stands out.
Aroma: The aroma is very light, with notes of bread and slight malt character.
Taste: The taste is very light a clean. For a beer that claims to be aged in oak I get none of the characteristics. The malt is very subtle as well, I wish there was more here.
Experience: Very thin with a small amount of dry mouth after each sip. There is a slight spiciness but nothing too overpowering.
Game Pairing: When it comes to game pairing I chose Firestone. This is a steam RPG, and obviously I went with the low hanging fruit of the name. But its a solid game that will go well with this perfect session Oktoberfest.
