The beer pours a clear and bright copper and amber in color.
There is nearly an inch of light tan foam. The aroma is malty, nutty, caramel,
a touch of sweet potato. The taste hits the same malty notes as the aroma, but
that is immediately followed by a grassy bitterness that cuts down the malt and
brings a quick finish. It has a tingling carbonation and is easy drinking.
Fine, but doesn’t really stand out in any particular direction. I generally really like the Oktobefest style, but most of them were pretty blah this year for some reason.
Trying again in 2017: The beer pours a deep, gem-like, amber
and copper. There is a short head of off-white foam. The aroma is
malty, caramel, nutty, a bit of dark fruit. The taste follows the
aromas, malty, with a bit of a fruit tang, some sweetness, but a
finish that is mostly dry and lightly to moderately bitter. The beer
drinks very easy, nicely carbonated, yet smooth. Hoist a stein of
this easy drinker.
