Flying Fish Oktoberfish: 15

Taste: 4 Finish: 4 Color: 4 Aroma: 3
Total: 15

Okay, it's not terrible. But it has the flaws of other Flying Fish that I've had.

First, it has a very mild sweet aroma. The color is a very nice copper. So, without taking a sip, a very nice beer.

Upfront there is a mild sweetness. And then a very bright and sharp carbonation flavor. Not overpowering. But it's there. In the end there is very little bitterness which is expected from a Oktoberfest. A slight off flavor lingers way too long. It's not bad. But it certainly isn't clean.

Given in Germany, the Oktoberfest beer should be some of the best you can produce, Flying Fish doesn't even come close. It's not a bad beer. But, it's not even a good beer.
