Lakefront Oktoberfest

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

Light head disappeared quickly. Bland, flat, tastes like an old sock would.

Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in a pint glass. This beer poured a clear copper with a decent head of fizzy tan foam. Some faint lace was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer included toasted caramel, hay, and a faint metallic note. The flavor had a solid dose of chewy caramel and nuts followed up by a quick, lightly bitter grassy hop finish. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Drinkable, but nothing special.

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.

Bottle. Poured pale copper, thin off-white head. Minimal lacing. Basic caramely aroma with a similar simple caramel flavor. Malts have a nice dryness. Rich creamy body.

Pours hazy amber with a small beaded creamy head. Aroma is very much of marzipan, or dentist office, carrying some fruitty honey sweetness. Acidic and very lemony. Some very dull malts. Sweet chemically finish. Nothing special.

(Bottled on Second week of Sept) Crisp , clean and fresh lager. Good dose of malt and co2. Good stuff.

poured amber with light tan head. aroma metillac, some malts flavor weak caramel, malts, of the octoberfest I have had this is at the bottom of my list did not care for this one

very mediocre effort for a marzen: color is right, leopard amber orange and a functional head. but the aroma misfires: this is not a smell you’d want to subject people to in a crowded elevator, it’s like sauerkraut, a vein of sulpher. is this bottle a warehouse holdover from last year? a wheaties-like grainy flavor, smooth, moderate sweetness, late but vaguely twangy finish. light body stays just a step ahead of being watery. i let a mouthful just sit on my tongue and begged it to amuse me with some character, but it merely sulked there, inannimate, vacuous, like pinnochio before the divine intervention of the blue fairy.
