No Label Brewing Co Oktoberfest (2023)
What the brewers say
“Festbier.”
What our panel thought
“Light mango and tangerine aroma. Hints of white pepper and dill. Light biscuit and pie crust. Very subtle malt flavor: fresh-baked bread, bread crust. Fairly balanced with the hop bitterness. Notable fruity hop flavors of star fruit, mango, Juicy Fruit. Dry finish.”
What our editors thought
“Soft apricot and peach esters in the aroma, amplified by light hazelnut malt notes, with a bit of oak—almost like aromatic young bourbon. Spicy and fruity hop notes in the flavor get a boost from the sweet bready malt. Light yet maximalist.”
