Yeah, Oktober Fest is now two words. So deal with that. I bought this beer because I wanted to try something new and the bottle had a weird looking guy with some kind of musical instrument. Apparently I am still buying beer based on appearances, which I really shouldn't do.
Oktober Fest is a amber colored beer with hints of orange to it. It poured with a decent amount of head that faded slowly but only left a light lacing behind. The aroma of this beer is very faint, but there's a maltiness to it and maybe some very faint fruitiness. There's definitely something else in the background, but it's a bit difficult to pick out.
This beer has everything you'd expect from an Oktoberfest beer. There's a nice caramel maltiness to it, very little hops, and a smoothness to each sip. This is fairly light Oktoberfest as far as the experience goes. Unlike something like, say, Sam Adams, drinking one of these does not feel like a monumental event. Instead, it's light and easily enjoyable. This is lightly carbonated with a fairly clean finish and only a slight aftertaste of sweetness.
Final thought - I found this to be a nicely enjoyable beer, and I will probably seek it out again next fall to enjoy another 6 or so.
