I love Harpoon IPA, and I love trying all the octoberfest beers. But this particular beer tasted like I dumped a roll of nickels into my mouth. I had to spill it and see if it was just a bad bottle. No such luck, the second one was just as bad.

Pretty good, not bad but does not stand out amongst all the other Octoberfest beers.

Very good "beery" beer, a little dark but more of depth than bitter, stouty darkness. Like a red-pale ale

It has a rusty color appearance. The head retention is shorted lived. Has a medium bitter flavor. Light and refreshing. Overall it’s ok, but not great.

Pretty standard foamy head and Marzen aroma. However, the taste is very tannic and winey which increased as it warmed. Overall, below average Oktoberfest.

great rich brown color, nice smell and the pour got a frothy head that remained for the life of the drink. It had a tart intro sliding into a slightly bitter body with a lasting aftertaste. Not a bad beer but I have had better Oktoberfest beers.

One of the best October fest beers beers. A hole lot of mart labor.

A classic example of an autumn session ale. Malty, with smooth mouth feel. Totally drinkable.
