Oktoberfest (Upland)

This Bavarian-Style Lager is brewed by a local Indiana brewery. It won Silver at the 2010 World Beer Cup in the American-Style Amber Lager Category. I've had Upland beer at the Indiana beerfest and a couple of times when we were in Indianapolis. Three Floyds has them on the guest taps sometimes. They have a great IPA.

From the Upland site:
"No season is as synonymous with beer as autumn, when the most storied beer festival of them all, Oktoberfest, takes place in Munich, Germany. Since 1810, this celebration of good food, good company, and, most importantly, good beer, has most prominently featured Marzen-style lager–so much so that many refer to the beer simply as Oktoberfest. 

Our Oktoberfest is a traditional Bavarian lager featuring all-German malts and rare German hops. This dedication to authenticity produces a beer that would be as at home in Munich as it is here in the Midwest United States. The aroma is authentic, the taste sweet and malty, and the finish crisp and hoppy; perfect for a beautiful fall day!"

General Thoughts: I had a bottle of it poured in a pint glass to get a better feel for it. It is more golden than orange. Didn't really have much head; very light carbonation. It's very light and refreshing. It's not very fragrant. Light malt flavor. Nice hops flavor that lingers a bit.
