Final note. This was contrast tasting. We tasted a bunch of beers of the same style to get many interpretations on the style. I went for big breweries of different mainland USA time zones. People got different feels the style interpretations even though they had similar stats. Thanks to Stereo for providing a fresh interpretation that was 30 steps away from the source.

There is more homework to do. Taste more oktoberfest style beers out there to broaden your knowledge. Most are fresh this time of year.
