Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for American-Style Amber Lager calls for low to medium-low caramel or toasted malt, 4.8 to 5.4 percent ABV, 18 to 30 IBU and 6 to 14 SRM. The listed 5.5% ABV sits just above the top of that range; the retailer's 23 IBU fits.

Research Notes

• Field pass 2026-10-13: The matching CBC Liquors Oktoberfest listing supplies 23 IBU. Its 5.6% ABV disagrees with the existing 5.5% from BeerMenus, which is retained. No named hops or new brewery beer page were verified.
• The brewery's beer portfolio and beer finder pages show no Oktoberfest (the portfolio was truncated at a load more button), and a guessed beer page URL returned 404, so no brewery beer page was found.
• All specs come from BeerMenus, which reproduces the brewery's own description.
• A web search turned up a 2022 report of a GABF gold for Mighty Squirrel's Oktoberfest in German-Style Maerzen; that page was not opened and the claim is not relied on here.
• No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery's Oktoberfest 2024 page is an event page with no beer description; the brewery description carried by BeerMenus is recorded as tasting notes.
