I reached into the can bin, pulled out the last can of Sly Fox Oktoberfest Lager, and thought that I should review it before it was gone. This was another autumn seasonal that I had purchased with the intent to share at HalloweinerFest. Sadly, I think I had refrigerated it, and then “forgot” to pass it out.
Here is what Sly Fox has to say about their Oktoberfest Lager:
This traditional Oktoberfest beer celebrates the arrival of Fall. It is a medium-bodied, smooth and malty brew made with German Vienna malts and German hops.
I found the Oktoberfest Lager to have the following characteristics…
- Appearance: Light orange with a quickly dissipating foam.
- Aroma: Sweet malt and yeast.
- Taste: Sweet, with a mildewy-yeasty flavor, and a slightly bitter, hoppy finish.
- ABV: 5.8%
I’m not sure what happened here, but the flavors, while not out of balance, were just a little meh. It wasn’t good. It wasn’t bad. It was just meh.

Meh sure isn’t good. My most insightful comment ever!

In my mind, meh translates to empty calories. Tis a pity.

Yeah, and we are really counting calories!

You two certainly are not. Maybe you should start jogging to the liquor store?

Glad this one was forgotten and didn’t hit HalloWeiner Fest.

Like you would turn down a beer! You might not like it but you’d drink it (well except for the Shandy and that blueberry beer and a couple of pumpkin beers)!

I do have some limits on what I’ll drink.
