Beer Review: Home-Brewed Oktoberfest

Serving Type: Home-brewed, bottle

ABV: Approx. 5.2 percent

Appearance: This beer looks like that dark, amber shade that you see in most Oktoberfest beers. The body of the brew almost glows when some light hits it. The head varies from bottle to bottle. In the 12 oz. bottle it fizzes out quickly and in most of the 32 oz. ones it's lively and foamy as in the picture I've provided.

Smell: This Oktoberfest has a very sweet scent. This might be because of the extra sugar that was added during the bottling process to help with fermentation. It's also very malty with a good bit of caramel present.

Taste: It's very sweet and malty, especially once it hits the back of the tongue. This beer makes me want to party like it's September.

Overall Rating:   

Pretty damn good beer for a home-brew. I think I should make a note that I only helped in brewing this as it was mainly my Dad's project. I'm not that knowledgeable about the entire process yet to completely take it on.
