look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Appearance: dusty, hazy amber pumpkin body with a thin eggshell colored head and not much on the lacing front. Make sure to get the sediment off the bottom of the bottle.

Aroma: sturdy malt profile with a grassy and slightly herbal like hop note,

Flavors: earthy malts, yeasts, and hops. Sweet bread like malts, lightly toasted grains, and a hint of grassy hop bitterness on the finish.

Mouthfeel: moderate-fine carbonation, earthy feel, sweet without being overly sweet, light hop bitterness on the finish,

Overall: nothing fancy, it is an oktoberfest beer, it was easy to drink and I did not grow tired of this oktoberfest. I liked its earthy style.

Reviewed 9/27/12 On-tap at Mountain Town Station

A: Two fingers of tight, off-wite foam sit on top of what appears to be a dark copper beer, although the dim lighting makes this color assessment questionable.

S: The maltiness of this beer is pretty obvious in the nose. An earthy hop bitterness can also be detected.

T: Very bready malts bring a sweetness that is well-balanced with earthy bittering hops. A little bit of grassiness follows, adding more flavor. Delicious.

M: The body is much more full than I was anticipating from this style (not a bad thing). Carbonation is great. Goes down smooth.

O: This is one great-drinking beer. I will be getting a growler of this before the season is over.

Serving type: on-tap

Picked up a single to try at the Wine Palace.

A: Cloudy copper orange with little head and minimal lacing.

S: Malt and more malt!

T: Taste is smooth and refreshing for the style. Not too sweet and not too bland.. Can pick up the sweet flavor in the beer also on the finish. lingers nicely.

M: Sturdy all around.. mildly hopped. Very viscous on the palate.

O: On par with its MI competition, not as sweet as say a Frankenmuth Oktoberfest.. but definitly similar all around.
