12oz bottle from an October trip to Colorado. Simply the best American-made Oktoberfest beer out there...nutty, roasted caramel malts dominate both aroma and flavor, with a refreshing crisp dryness from Saaz hops at the finish. Clear honey orange with a moderate white head and well-balanced carbonation.

Clear honey brown pour. Medium head dissipated rather quickly. Aroma is nutty, bready, caramel, spice. Flavor profile mirrors the nose, with a nice spice character - cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spices. Sweet throughout, dries up a bit on the finish. The finish is crisp and clean. Average.

12oz bottle (6-pk) from corner store in Brooklyn shared w E. Pours a dark rust color with decent off-white head. Aroma is cinnamon, pumpkin spice and allspice with slight hoppiness. Palate is maltiness upfront and spice going down with a relatively clean finish. Nice. Very appropriate for the season though I don’t think I’d order it in April.
