On tap at Gordon Street Tavern in Alvin, Texas.

I'm new to the Octoberfest style. All I know is I loved this beer. Lots of flavor, not much bitterness, but not too smooth either.

A touch of sweet. Not real heavy. Very easy to drink. Really balanced.

I hope they bottle/can this in the future. It's on my list to drink again.

Serving type: on-tap

A: Pours a gorgeous and perfectly clear burnt orange/red color. A two finger white head forms with good retention and lace. I love the color here.
S: Toasted, bready, biscuit malt. A light sweetness with some caramel malt. Even some light chocolate intermingles. A bit of hops in the background that leaves some bitterness. Awesome.
T: Follows the nose with a great toasted malt flavor. Bread and biscuit, and light caramel malt sweetness. There is a lingering bitterness here as well. Everything works in balance and is great.
M/D: A medium body and carbonation. That great crisp, smooth lager bite is here and very clean. So easy and enjoyable to drink. All day with this.

This is a great lager. Quickly becoming one of my favorite American versions of an Octoberfest. Highly recommended.
