A flovorful beer served seasonally at the Nationwide Arena. I would probably enjoy this lager more if I was not so sad to see the Octoberfest beer go away before it.

Flaske 0,355. Mørk brun på farge. Nesten ikke skum. Svakt fruktig aroma. Smaken er fruktig med null bitterhet. Hadde forventet meg mer av denne. Delt med flere under julelunsj hos Rune.

A: Poured with an average-sized, off-white head that diminished very quickly to a thin film. Body is a beautiful dark-amber, almost ruby color, and completely clear. S: Nice aroma that is quite malty, with a light presence of different spices. T: Sweet malt in the beginning, and it ends pretty much sweet as well. The spices in the aroma are present, and the finish has a light bitter bite to it. M: Light-bodied, slightly creamy, with average carbonation. D: Pretty easy to drink; not heavy at all, and the 5.8% ABV keeps it to sessionable levels.

Pours to a small white head that disappears a little faster than I’d like to see. it has a pleasant odor and a rich taste on the palate. Goes down smoothly and doesn’t leave an after taste.

On tap from keg over Xmas. This overall is a very nice, sessionable, light winter beer. Light to me is usually not a good thing, but this one here can be a good change of pace from the heavy malt bombs I usually associate with the season, while still being appropriate and satisfying. Some light nutty caramel, grass, minor citrus, and cereal malt in the aroma. It pours with a soapy white head, a descent amount of carbonation, medium-light body, and amber-brown in color. The feel is light but definitely not watery, has some carbonation yet has a nice creamy feel to it. Flavors here include light citrus and grassy notes, as well as nutty caramels, and bread/cereal grains. Well balanced overall. Nothing truly special, but nice and enjoyable.

On tap and shortly after bottle - Pours an a dark brown - almost looks like amber. Aroma was spicy wheat. Taste was great with a malty wheat, slight sweetness with spices. Medium body yet was always easy to drink. Very much enjoyed.

Beautiful looking beer. Pours a mahogany body with a small off white head and a little bit of lace. Aroma of caramel malts, spice and pine hops. Flavor is sweet and a bit cloying but not bad. Solid beer.

A surprisingly good wheat lager. 12 oz. bottle to lager glass. Pours a nice amber with medium off-white head that laces well. Malt and bread, refreshing with a hint of vanilla, nicely carbonated and finishes well. A well balanced macro brew.
