Somewhat of a surprise when I first had this beer, not a bad pick and one I'll go back to.

Presentation: 12oz. green bottle, with a light blue label. Freshness date is clearly marked. Specially brewed in limited quantities in accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516.

Appearance: Copper, clear, with an off-white head; creamy, frothy and relaxes into a nice full covering cream whisp.

Smell: Caramel malts. Semi-spicy, floral hop aroma.

Taste: A bit spicy upfront with a mild lemon rind bitter hop flavour. Body is medium to light, malty, with some dextrin sweetness and soft caramel notes. More grain flavours emerge as the beer warms, and it really smooths out. The hops also become more subtle and tea-like. Alcohol notes finish in the end, with a grainy, dry sweetness.

Notes: Give that this is a Beck's ... it's a great Oktoberfestbier! Drinkable. Flavourful. Addictive. Delicious.

One of my favorite brews. A shame it's not more popular.

Pours and looks like the average Oktobefest. Dark, thick, with a medium head.

It's taste is again, typical for an Oktoberfest, but fresher, I guess I'd say. Doesn't have the hoppiness of many Oktoberfest's, which is unique. Kind of hard to describe it, and just absolutely loves my pallet. Often times when I drank large amounts of a Marzen or Oktoberfest I feel full and slow. Not the case here. And it's not due to a lack of taste or quality, just not quite as heavy.

Only drawback is it can be a bit on the sweet side.
