Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest 2017 - Brauhaus Miltenberger

This 6.1% ABV festbier is Sierra Nevada Brewing's 2017 take on the Oktoberfest style, brewed this year in collaboration with Germany's Brauhaus Miltenberger (also called Faust). 

The beer pours a crystal clear light amber in color. There is an inch of white head. The aroma is malty, toasted grain and caramel, with a light fruit and flower note. The taste follows the aromas, very pleasant caramel, with toasted grain, and a dry finish. There is a moderate grassy bitterness. The beer drinks smooth, yet crisp. This is a very nice Oktoberfest beer.
