Front Street Oktoberfest

(Whoopsie! Accidentally entered this review back on 10/20/07 under the IOWA Front Street Brewery.) Cloudy sunset amber with flecks of orange. Short-lived head. Bready aromatics with a bit of nut and toasted grain. A twang on the palate initially. Maltiness rides shotgun to an odd lactic feel. Huh? Thinner feel that I’d like. Not your average oktoberfest. I’m not so sure this is even an oktoberfest to tell you the truth...

Draft at brewpub. Pours a dark reddish orange color with a foamy tan head. Lots of hints of malt and barley. Some caramel detected. Finished thin and light on the palate. Beer must be made to pair with food.
