On tap at Tyler’s, Durham, NC. Crystal clear reddish amber with a beige head. Malty, nutty nose, slightly herbal. Bready flavor, a bit nutty, sweet caramel and a dash of hebal bitterness. OK.

The color was light brown with amber hues. The head was thin medium/light beige. The aroma was sweet but a little lacking. The flavor was some hop and some malt. The palate was smooth. The finish was abrupt.

Growler from Green’s in Columbia. Caramel malt and metallic hops aroma. Dark amber with nice big head. Light caramel malt and hops but with a fairly strong metallic flavor as well. Mild carbonation - decent drinkable festbier.

Sampled at Ashville Brewfest. This was a beautiful copper red color, with a nice rocky little head and decent toasty aromas. The flavor was very nutty, and the malt came through pretty nice, but the overall effect and the palate were rather thin and didn’t have the usual smooth, rich body of an Oktoberfest.
