Lakefront Oktoberfest

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Pours dark orange with a mostly receding off-white head. Notes of toasted malt, caramel, nuts, and herbal hops. Medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy amber color, some pearly white head, which dissipates quickly. Aroma is grassy and malty. Flavor is a caramel malt, some cidery flavors as well. Very effervescent. Overall a decent Oktoberfest.

Pours a slightly hazy orange amber with a bloom of beige head, good retention, minimal lace. Cidery malt aroma with an edge of fresh mown hay. Delightful Munich malt body, cider, caramel, cream soda. A minor dank element in the finish is the one flaw, and charitably it could be called earthy instead of dank. Medium, body, palate both lively and creamy.

Bottle. Poured a clear medium orange color. The head was tall and off white. Smelled of biscuity malt, buttered bread, toffee, and grass. Light to medium bodied and delicately sweet. Creamy mouth feel without any bitterness. Tasted of spicy malt and grass.

Bottle. Poured amber with a creamy off-white head that had some lasting and good lace. Aromas of honey and spices. The flavor had grainy malts with some spices. Medium to full body and smooth.

Butter’s 4th cellar reduction. Pours clear amber with an off-white head. Sweet biscuit aroma but lacking in taste. Overall thin and a letdown.

Bottle at the Fourth Butters’ Cellar Clearance Event. Clear orange amber pour with small light tan head. Malty aroma and flavor. Not all that great, but decent enough.

12 oz bottle at Butters’ 4th Cellar Reduction. Pours an off-white head with a little lace. Body is clear ruby color. Smells of apples, caramel, and white bread. Tastes like caramel with some bread and apple notes.
