The PA Brewery that we talk about all the time, Yuengling. As the oldest brewery in the US Yuengling is synonymous with lager in the NE. Directly from their site,
“Yuengling is proud to offer our Oktoberfest as an homage to our German Heritage. Copper in color, this medium bodied beer is the perfect blend of roasted malts with just the right amount of hops to capture a true representation of the style.”.
Appearance: I am a sucker for the Yuengling logo, and this slight twist with the orange and brown looks great. Simple and classic looking, you can’t go wrong.
Aroma: The aroma threw me off. I detected stale bread, maybe it was an old beer, and some slight malts. But it was not very strong as the aroma only lasted for a small amount of time.
Taste: The taste leans much more towards sweet as it seems there is a bit more of malts in this beer. I like how much flavor is here, but it doesn’t feel like a Märzen.
Experience: This Oktoberfest sits a little too heavy for its own good and is surprisingly bitter, even though the taste doesn’t reflect the complexity.
Game Pairing: When it comes to game pairing I chose Elevator Action for the NES. The cover reminds me of fall and that fact that its not a perfect game, but a unique arcade like experience lends itself to a beer you can sip for a while. Grab a six pack and avoid those agents.
