About This Beer

According to the internet, “Oachkatzlschwoaf” is apparently some kind of Eastern European inside joke. Pronounced “oh-kut-zel-shvoaf,” it literally translates to “tail of a squirrel” in German.

This brew is so tasty and true to style; it actually beat out European renditions to snag Gold Medals at both the Brussels Beer Challenge and the World Beer Championships! Which isn’t so surprising when you learn that founder Florian Kuplent learned his trade in Bavaria.

Tasting Notes

It may be hard to pronounce, but it’s seriously easy to drink! A rich, bready maltiness swirls throughout every traditional sip, while hints of toasted caramel and whispers of florals add a depth of flavor to the finish.

Crisp Refreshing Light

Good malt flavor but too much bitterness from the hops. Traditionally should be more smooth in the finish.

Willing to assume I don’t have the palate, but this tastes like Budweiser.

Roasted malts to the taste, with caramel notes to the nose. Very crisp and refreshing. A solid Oktoberfest Lager.

An American brewery showing respect for the Oktoberfest. A highly enjoyable beer. Thank you Urban Chestnut for this! Reviewed live at twitch.tv/brewedforgaming

Very nice. Balanced between a toasty Märzen and a boozier-but-paler Wiesn. Incredibly drinkable, loaded with clean malty goodness.

Decent, but doesn’t necessarily separate itself from other Oktoberfest beers

Light, clean, sweet & malt-forward with a nice herbal, spiced character to round things out. One of the better Oktoberfest beers I had this season.

Clean, crisp, and packing a lightly malted backbone, this entry from Urban Chestnut is sure to have you saying "Wunderbar!" and "Schmecht gut, ja?"

Found the "squirrel tail" last year. One of my new favorite domestic renditions of an O'fest Märzen lager. Prost! 🐿

Sweet, malty, brown sugar on the nose. Lighter in the palate than expected, but still delicious. Sweet, slightly nutty, subtly toasty, and a decent bitter finish. I likey.
