Ambery/brown with thin white head. Nose is slightly caramelly and somewhat sourly yeasty. Body is a bit thin and watery, but the maltiness is pleasant and firm. Some alcohol peaks through and some sourness as well, decent but not as good as some of their other seasonals.

Slightly dissapointed by this one, seemed a little weak to me, but my problem may have been that I had a Autumn fire before this one, and after that almost anything would taste like water I guess. Nice color though, but I was just expecting more, Maybe it fell victim to too high of expectations...

Deep amber with trace white head. Nutty banana nose with some malt undertones. Very nice malty flavor, not as sweet as some of the other O-fests that I have tried. Very creamy mouthfeel with just a dab of bitterness on the finish. Very nice beer, second best O-fest I have had this season

Poured from the tap, this has a deep orange body with a thin frostly head that disappeared bfore the bartender could hand it to me. Modest carbonation. It has a nice malty aroma, maybe a bit nutty. Gives a creamy mouthfeel, Tastes slightly sleep, but not too bad. A crisp, malty finish.
