COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Scratch 13-2008 is all about tradition. This copper lager is reminiscent of what you would find under one of those mammoth tents in Munich this time of year.

A rich trio of Pils, Munich and Vienna malts combined with the light bitterness of noble hops creates this traditional lager beer. We left this one unfiltered to bring out a slight yeast flavor.

Strap on your lederhosen!
  • O.G.: 12.4 Plato
  • I.B.U.’s: 19

JB175 (1665) - Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 11, 2008
Golden color with a medium head. Aroma is quite malty and sweet with some light honey, bread, and mild citrus notes. Flavor is quite bready and sweet - lots of honey and some light hops. Solid finish. A very nice Oktoberfest brew!

cbkschubert (2685) - Cochise Co., Arizona, USA - OCT 8, 2008
12 oz. bottle via trade with machfive55 - Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a one finger thick off white head. Aroma is herbal hops and light bread. Flavor is lightly sweetened malt, light esters, and herbal hops. Finish has a little bite to it. Medium body. A decent beer. Thanks Rich.

zathrus13 (1559) - Mount Laurel, New Jersey, USA - SEP 28, 2008
Pours orange/amber, with a white head. Aroma is malt and vegetables. Flavor is malt, and caramel. Light body. Not what I think of when i think of an Octoberfest.

michael-pollack (4537) - King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 24, 2008
12oz. Bottle: Aroma of vegetables, herbs, malts, hops, B.O., and yeast. Poured amber in color with a small white head that disappeared. Hazy. Slightly sparkling. Flavor is light to medium sweet and not bitter. Tastes of corn, floral hops, yeast, light caramel, grains, and malts. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Semi-sweet corn finish. Disappointing.

bp (661) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 23, 2008
Bottle: pours a brownish-orange with a thin white head, aroma of malts and caramel, taste is malty but not much else going on there, fairly watery mouthfeel as well. Not one of the better Troegs beers.

hopdog (6943) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 17, 2008
12oz bottle. Poured a meidium and slightly hazy amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of some breadiness, citrus, toasted nuts, and caramel. Tastes of bread (stronger than the aroma), toasty, caramel, and citrus.

DocLock (5776) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 16, 2008
Pours chill hazy dark straw with 1-finger off-white head. Nose is malt, hops, tart citrus, spicy cobwebby esters, some florals. Tastes very malty, earthy, with caramel, some hops, some florals, orange marmalade. Lacks the palate heft and malt bill to be considered anything more than a run-of-the-mill Marzen.
