Beck's Oktoberfest: 20

Taste: 7 Finish: 4 Visual: 5 Aroma: 4
Total: 20

I found Beck's to usually be slightly skunked. So, I just couldn't resist trying their Oktoberfest. Well, it is getting close to October, right?

It has beautiful color. A nice deep amber. There is a good amount of aroma of sweet malt.

It has a great initial first taste. Very sweet and savory. A bit of roasted malt. In the back is just a bit of a hop bite. And it finishes pretty cleanly. Although, there is just a hint of harshness in the back. It doesn't linger but it's there. Even with that, I could drink many many in a row.

What a pleasant surprise. Many German beers aren't the freshest so perhaps that's what I'm tasting here. Otherwise, an extremely good beer.
