Draft half pint from Cooter Brown’s. Pours a clear dark gold with a 1/2" eggshell head. Aroma of fruit, hops, straw, mild spice. Flavor is the same, with the hops and straw up front. Smooth palate, light body. Feels to reserved for something with this name- where’s the ’fall’?

pours a surprisingly light straw-gold, thin head. aromas of caramel, honey, green apple. flavor is malty, slight hoppiness. a little fruity, a little metallic. not my favorite fall beer, but not bad. finish is clean and coppery.

everything that kaggie said. i actually liked this beer. less oktoberfesty than others. not overly malty, just a regular beer, which served its purpose

KAggie97 (3170) - Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA - MAR 27, 2009
Bottle. Pours an average cheddar orange with a slightly lively body and a thin but tall head of white. Aroma is malt biscuit and stale hops. Flavor is fresh hay and a touch of floral honey on top of a malted biscuit. Average mouthfeel. Not disgusting, but not worth more than a binge drink session.

kidmartinek (1757) - austin, Texas, USA - JAN 8, 2009
Pours orangish light amber, but its cloudy and has a tall head thats nice. Aroma of sweet citrus and orange. Flavor is balanced with wheat malt and hops and has some citrus sweetness added. Mouthfeel is over carbonated a little bit but not too bad. Bite lingers on the tongue in the finish. A very appropriate beer for the time of year.

Bottle, at Goodbar beer club. Very clear copper, thin white head. Nose is honey malt, a bit of tea, some tobacco fruitiness. Flavor is honey malt, a bit of hop crispness. odd sweet fruitiness in the finish.
