Wallenpaupack Brewing Company Oktoberfest
What the brewers say
“A perfect balance of German malt and hops … pours a beautiful burnt orange.”
What our panel thought
“The sweet caramel nose has a light vegetal note with some mild graininess. The flavor doubles down on that grainy element, with flecks of fresh-crushed Munich and melanoidin malts that provide depth for the honey-caramel maltiness.”
What our editors thought
“Crispy toasted-bread nose with light floral undertones, in an inversion of the typical arrangement. The sip leads with a bold sweetness matched by equally bold floral hops, buffered just a bit by crunchy toffee/peanut brittle notes.”
