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

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.

AirForceHops (990) - Epping, New Hampshire, USA - NOV 12, 2011
Draft @ the Barley Pub, Dover, NH. Served into a pint. Clear amber, no head or lace. Nose of sweet bread-like malt and light hops. A nice German / Saaz like hops dominate the flavor. A nice standard example of the style.

Bottle - wegmans sterling - pours a clear amber with no head. Aroma is malty, caramel and some yeast. Lightly carbonated. Taste is a little bitter with a smokey finish. Palate is a little watery. Overall, this is an average effort for the style.
