Poured a clear copper color with a medium white head. Aromas of caramel and light hops. Flavor is malty, a little sweet. Light to medium bodied crisp and semi dry.

This was the Best of Show from the Georgia Craftbrew Challenge, although that only applied to the Oktoberfest from the southside Buckhead Brewery. Clear copper/amber with a small head. Slight hops in the aroma. Good caramel malt. Crisp and refreshing.

Gold Medal all-around winner at the Georgia Craft Brew Challenge <P> Pours beautifully - like a pumpkin-colored caramel soup. The aroma is mildy spicy and mildly hoppy. The malting is ample, but not particularly interesting. The finish is clean and crisp.

A very nice take on Oktoberfest. This was very enjoyable with a dense coloring and a light aroma, but the flavor has a nice malt complex that is very appealing.

Caramel, malt and Cascade/Centennial hop nose. Orange-tea color with quickly fading head. This is a pretty stereotypical brew for this brewery -- lots of citrus hops, extremely clear and colorful. Mouthy brew with a silky palate. Cascade and nut finish.

Clean, malty aroma, nice orange appearance. Malty-sweet flavor that goes down smooth - strong to the finish. Good representation of the style.
