Big 750 ml bottle from the brewery poured into my perfect pint. No freshness date on the bottle, but nothing to worry about here.

Appearance: A gorgeous clear lightish amber with a white cap that came from two fingers of foamy head that settled slowly and left irregular lacing.

Smell: Malt with a caramel influence. Also a touch of apples and yeast? (a lager?)

Taste: A solid rich malty caramel beery goodness. My usual ales will have a run for their money from this beer, so much good flavor.

Mouthfeel: Medium to thick smooth mouthfeel, additionally middling carbonation to lift the malty richness.

Overall: A really good, if expensive ($6) example of an Oktoberfestbier. Does not stand out from other Oktoberfest biers I have had recently, with days between the tastings.

16.9oz brown bottle, no freshness date.

LOOK: Clear and tawny with an ample sized head.

SMELL: Fresh bread, browned apple, spicy hop, clean.

TASTE: Big malt backbone, slightly creamy, bready, toasted crackers, floral, spicy, herbal, dired grass, kiss of alcohol.

A very tasty Oktoberfestbier, extremely clean and hits all the right buttons. This is one of the styles that you have to remind yourself that this is it, a amberish lager than is malt forward and still very drinkable. This is where Squatters lands with this one, perhaps so malty that it could be confused for a bock.

Thanks(I think) to hopdog...
Appears a copper toned amber with an off white head that fades into a mild cap. Scattered bits of lacing.
Smell is of buttered caramel corn and not in a good way. Sour notes. Meh...not digging it.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, tart, and wrong...just wrong.

Special thanks goes out to Wasatch for this AWESOME extra in a recent trade. 18oz special edition, very cool looking bottle.

A: Dirty orange brown/copper color, much like an old penny with a cream colored cap, great head retention, pretty fair lacing, nice color. Fairly cloudy. Nice looking beer.

S: Big time caramel malt profile, huge malts here, has some brown sugar, and molasses smells as well. Smells very tasty and right on for the style. Big time malt bomb.

T: Once again caramel malt sweetness, tastes almost exactly like chewing on a caramel, slightly molasses, brown sugar, tastes almost exactly like it smells, only more delicious. Has a few chocolatey notes as well. Very tasty.

M: Fairly thin, light carbonation, dry, and smooth. Awesome.

D: Goes down entirely too easily. I understand this is a special reserve beer, but I could easily see this as my fall session beer. Excellent flavors, goes down very easy, and just all around tasty.

Thanks for an awesome beer John!
