On tap at the Gingerman Fort Worth. The look is dark orange in color with a light beige colored head. Clear. The smell is very doughy, sweet, caramel, and malts. The taste is bready, sweet, caramel, and malts.

On tap at the Gingerman Fort Worth. Weak raisin smell. Tastes like dark fruits, a little citrus, and a little alcohol. Very spicy aftertaste.

I have now had several pints of this and still can’t get my head around it. The first was almost too sweet, but a week later was restrained. This rate will stand untl I get a better handle on it. I am hoping we are not seeing any quality issues with these guys.

Tap (Press Box Grill). Poured a dark orangish amber color. Virtually no head. Fair bit of malts in the aroma, with some caramel notes. Flavor is mostly malt, a little honey. On the sweet side. A bit thin. Very drinkable.

Dark amber with ruby hints and a thin cream head. Nose is caramel malts and light Toffee. Nice thickness and a decent toffee flavor tagged with caramel in the finish.

I was pleasantly surprised...not typically a marzen fan, I tried it when I got to the front of the line and they didn’t have a lager. Smooth and pleasant, a bit darker than typical but may have been the cups they were using. cool to have a local brew headlining the hometown oktoberfest! also, no hangover - clearly obeying the german law of 15xx and not putting any of the american poisons in the product.

On tap at the McKinney Oktoberfest. As I gazed at ericandersnavy’s half empty mug, I realized how pretty the beer looked in his, and how shitty it looked in my dinky plastic cup. Rated from my cup, the beer was completely black with a Franconia label floating in it. Rated from Eric’s mug that he selfishly kept to himself, the beer was a clear reddish orange. Smells rather nice with sweet malts. Flavorful with sweet malts as well in the flavor but has an upfront tartness. Finishes well with lingering bitter sweet. Probably my favorite thing out of Franconia to date.
