beer_name: Oktober Fest
text: Pours a nice, mellow amber color with very small amount of white head, dissipating to leave a very tiny amount of lace. Smell is earthy malt with a hint of sourdough. The taste is just what the smell promises, a malty, bread-like flavor with a little bit of hops at the end. It is, however, a bit watered down, almost a little bland. The mouthfeel is light, too light, a bit more watery than I had expected. Nice carbonation, though. Drinkability is there, and overall, this is a pretty good beer, but not quite as dark or flavorful as I figured they would go far. Not a bad brew in the wide picture of things, but not quite the quality that I expect from Stoudts.
