Rating: Not so Hot
Silver City Oktoberfest pours a copper color with a 1-finger head that dies in about three minutes.
The smell is of sweet malt and honey, nothing fancy.
This oktoberfest tastes sweet up front, followed by a short-lived nutty flavor. In the middle, it becomes sweet once again, and a little earthy, giving way to a finish of lightly toasted malts and a yeast flavor that is not overpowering, but unpleasant nonetheless.
The body is medium-light, with notable carbonation. It doesn't have the creamy character that I usually look for in an oktoberfest, but it's not bad.
Overall, Silver City Oktoberfest falls a little short. It's a bit too sweet to be truly drinkable.
From the Silver City Web Site:
Silver City Oktoberfest is an authentic interpretation of this classic amber lager. Just a few sips of this luscious brew and you are transported to the great beer halls of Bavaria. You will enjoy the rich malty sweetness, and spicy hop character of this popular Silver City seasonal brew.
