Bristol Edge City Octoberfest

Brewed by Bristol Brewing Company
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Colorado Springs, Colorado USA

(draft at the brewery). Clear amber color. Small white head. Very light malt aroma. Roasted malt flavor. Avg duration. Slightly astringent finish. Moderate carbonation. Fair lacing.

Ruddy orange as described by the label this had some very nice aromas of chocolate, plums, and malts. The taste is very bread-like which starts out good but then takes a weird turn in the aftertaste which I don’t like. Drinkability is just ok. I will still be checking for new Edge City releases from Bristol. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 10-17-2007 15:49:28

Thanks to Mike for this one. Dark gold body, no head formation. Aroma is sweet and malty. Grainy malt flavor, somewhat sweet, and there’s a vegetable quality in there somewhat.

Bomber from Kevin. Golden honey colored body, mostly clear. Sweet, sticky honey malt, medium thickness for a marzen, it’s oily and hoppy but not overhoppy, just a bit more than usual for the style... overall clean and simple, tastes of corn, wheat, fish (?). Not bad.

(22oz bottle, thanks acrdz) Small off-white head atop hazy amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, orange, bread/caramel, some toffee. Taste is moderately sweet, orange, some caramel/bread, light earthy. Medium body, some stickiness.

22oz bottle, courtesy of acrdz. Thanks, Mike! Pours a hazy orange color; thin off-white head with patchy lacing. Light, crisp aroma showing candy sugar and a touch of fruit. Medium mouthfeel: candy sugar, tropical fruit, and an overripe, almost pumpkin-like note; reasonably chewy and drinkable. Medium finish: residual sugar and malty sweetness and cantaloupe.

Courtesy of acrdz. Mostly clear amber body with a tiny white head. Doughy, cracker nose with light honey and grapes. The flavor is lightly sweet, very lightly bitter with toffee, munich malts, graham cracker and herbal hops. Medium body is round with moderate carbonation.

Brought back by Brewfiend. Orange color with no head. Faint aroma of sweet corn. Very grainy and floral taste. A pinch of caramel. Standard and decent.
