Point Oktoberfest NA

Stevens Point Brewery
United States·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

Point Oktoberfest NA is the alcohol-free counterpart of the brewery's Märzen, brewed with roasted Vienna and caramel Munich malts and released for the late-summer festival season. Toasted bread crust and caramel lead the nose. On the palate the malt comes through as light toffee and biscuit in a lighter body than the full-strength beer, with a touch more residual sweetness, and the finish stays short and gently bitter.

The nose leads with toasted bread crust and caramel maltiness, conveying the influence of Vienna and Munich malts. A subtle warmth emerges beneath, with hints of biscuit sweetness that suggest the residual sugar in the composition. Noble hop spice is restrained, allowing malt character to dominate.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and slightly sweet, with light toffee and biscuit flavors unfolding across the palate. The body remains lean and crisp, emphasizing the malt's gentler profile rather than assertive depth. A touch more residual sweetness than the full-strength version softens the structure without cloyness.
