New Glarus Staghorn Octoberfest

Staghorn is the Octoberfest offering from the New Glarus Brewing Company of New Glarus, Wisconsin. It is brewed in conformity with German's famed Purity Law.

The beer pours a pure orange amber in color, veering towards a reddish tint. There is an inch of thick, foamy and somewhat creamy off-white head. The aroma is malty, nutty, caramel, tangy.  The taste is roasted, toasted, nutty malt, with a nice fruity, yeasty tang, and just enough hop bitterness to finish perfectly smooth.  It drinks perfectly carbonated for the style, with a light creaminess.  The aftertaste is a nice, nutty malt.  A very good Octoberfest beer!
