"This amber lager is made from German malts, German hops, and a German lager yeast for a truly authentic Oktoberfest beer. Clean, toasted bread malts with just a touch of hop spice give way to a clean, smooth finish for a fest beer you'll want to drink by the liter."

"Steeped in tradition and consumed in celebration Oktoberfest is the perfect lager to herald the onset of Autumn toasted bread on the nose leads to a slightly sweet malty flavor with just a hint of noble hops, crisp and highly quaffable brewed to be drunk by the stein. Enjoy this brewer's favorite seasonal beer."

Franz Oktoberfest
Rhinegeist - Cincinnati, Ohio

"Franz is our Oktoberfest bräu, not traditional but über German. He's an autumnal brew, a bit of a dreamer, often hiking in the as Alps to return brimming with great ideas. Like those brisk hikes in the steep mountains, these Munich and Vienna malts will pump you up."
