Frankenmuth Oktoberfest: Review


Frankenmuth Brewery
Frankenmuth, Michigan, USA
Seasonal Lager
5.27% abv
27 IBU
$8.40 a six pack based on case for $36.00
And 10 cents a bottle deposit
Purchased at the brewery

Appearance: bright amber or shiny copper penny with a thin head and no lacing.

Aroma: pretty delicate with a grainy sweet malty nose

Flavors: sweet malty profile with a caramel corn taste, grains, touch of spice, pink peppercorn like. 

Mouthfeel: fairly dry in taste and dry on the aftertaste, spice lingers on the aftertaste, mild-medium body, a slight watery edge

My Strength Rating: 4/4.5 – on the lighter side for an Oktoberfest but still tasty.  Easy to session and the palate won’t feel heavy.  

To the Point: easy to drink, I think it would be good with an Oktoberfest Sausage.   Try a bottle.

Paired well with a Padilla Edicion Especial 2006 Cigar.
