Guide Review - Spaten Oktoberfest - Beer Tasting Panel Review of Spaten Oktoberfest

The beer was described as golden to amber. One taster noted that it had good quilting. The aroma notes range from not distinct to fruity and caramel and pungent rye in one case. The flavor was described as light and semisweet. Other flavors were noted including a fruitiness and dark, burnt caramel notes. The overall description of this beer was positive. Most tasters found it light and satisfying. One described it as malty with a nice hoppy finish.
