Finish is a mix of sweet caramel malts and some bready yeast flavor. M - Medium bodies with moderate carbonation. Smooth with a fairly sweet finish. D - Very drinkable. Standard Oktoberfest flavors with a bit more yeasty flavor and the finish could be a bit crisper.

Sampled in at Brewhouse in Mountain View. Had a nice lacey white head and a very hoppy aroma. Pour was a very nice hue of light brown and served cold. Flavor is packed with hops and has a little bit of an aftertaste.

Tap. I am usually not afan of their beers but this one is quite good. Itpours with an copper amber color. Aromas are dominated by malts and toffee. The flavors are also mainly malts, there is a subtle hoppy bitterness in the finish. One could argue that it is quite one dimensional, but compared to most of their offerings it is quite well done.

on tap. Amber color. Malt nose. Creamy malt taste throughout with slight tartness

Tap. Full on amber color. Focus is on bland malts rather than spice. Good body and a smooth rich feel. A little tangy/sour with a fruit flavor.
