Light rusty colored clear body with white head.

Smells toasty with a hint of grass and walnut.

Taste is toasted grain and a nice slight bitterness from noble hops. There's a slight nutty aftertaste.

Mouthfeel is medium and crisp. Great carbonation level.

A solid Oktoberfest.

Pours from the pint can a clean, clear amber, with substantial head. Thick 2-finger lace. Lovely!

Nose is malty grains, even earthy. Nice.

Flavor is malty and sweet up front, with a slowly-developing citrus hops accent toward the finish. Totally solid, but I still prefer their Osiris Pale Ale.

Here’s hoping this will be the first Oktoberfest that will wow me this year – cheers!

A: Very pale, translucent amber; looks almost watery. An aggressive pour leads to a very bubbly head, though it pops down slowly to a layer of creamy retention.

S: Light toasted malt, with toffee, caramel, and marshmallow; has an odd hint of unnatural, corn-like aroma to the malt, though, and it’s tough to look past. Slight strawberry jam notes and white bread crustiness around the back, too.

T: Those odd notes from the nose kick it off: cornmeal and slight metallic alcohol. Luckily, that worst part is over quick, giving way to cherry cola, toffee, faint biscuit, and almond butter. As expected, it’s mainly malt – leafy noble hops show up for a moment – but a bready yeast crispness lays over it all, giving it a drinkable cracker character. Toasted lager tones in the aftertaste, quite mild.

M: It’s not crisp, but it’s definitely fizzy. Definitely light for this style.

O: This one wasn’t underwhelming, but I’m definitely not going to pay $4 for a can of it again. Whatever the price, though, a crisp, sweet lager is never unwelcome to my palate.

Deep copper with a white head of a half inch, medium in body and depth and holding good retention, yielding little lace.

Way overpriced but still a decent oktoberfest. Aromas of biscuity malt, baked bread, toffee and spicey hop with some floral qualities.

Tastes like the aroma. Bigger in way of caramel and toffee, with sweet bready malts, earthy hop on the finish with floral notes through the finish. Clean and flinty with moderate carbonation.
