Commercial Description:
Seductively smooth, this medium-bodied amber beauty is akin to the great Oktoberfest beers of Munich. All German hops make this lager true to style. Patient cold aging makes it wonderfully smooth. In bottles September through February

Bottle. Poured a clear golden-amber color with a moderate beige head that diminished to a layer. Light aroma of caramel, biscuit, spice, and a light hoppiness. Smooth, lightly sweet entry with some undertones of caramel, honey, bready dough, finishing with a light floral hoppiness that balances it out nicely. Light carbonation, and very smooth and easy drinking. Nice, simple beer that could be a nice session beer. Sehr gut.

A nice and smooth brew. It has a little bit of a sour after taste but it’s nothing overpowering or just unpleasant. It has a very nice dark golden color to it and has a very mild hint of hops Overall it’s a great quality beer.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a mostly clear reddish gold with a thin off-white head that faded to a ring after the first sip and left a few spots of lace. Mild aroma of malt with a stronger doughy component. The flavor is very similar with mild malt along with a stronger doughy flavor and some very light honey sweetness as well. Initially, the beer is a bit over-carbonated, but that settles down after the first few sips. Very easy to drink.

Bottle. Slight malty aroma. Poured a copper brown with a white head that dissipated after a couple minutes. Some lacing and sheeting on the glass. Really like the flavor. Pretty malty, with some sweetness and nutmeg, with a little orange citrus flavor. Hard to detect any hops bitterness. Very smooth mouthfeel and drinkability.

medium brown appearance with mild white head. nose is mildly malty. flavor is pretty mild and somewhat of a watery mouthfeel. just hints of crystal malt with a somewhat unattractive hop bitterness. a disappointing effort from such a consistent brewer

Amber with a fizzy white head. Sweet vanilla and grain aroma and taste with a smooth clean finish.

This beer is nice and drinkable. It is not quite as spicy as some of the Oktoberfest beers and has a distinctive malt signature.
