A1A Aleworks Oktoberfest

Brewed by A1A Aleworks (Gordon Biersch)
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
St. Augustine, Florida USA

The brewmasters at A1A are right on target with this year’s version. I mean, it was so much better than last year’s offering which I did not like at all. This Octoberfest came from the tap in a thick pint mug with a nice reddish-copper hue along with a creamy white head that stuck to sides for a long time. Surpisingly there was very little lacing. The aroma was very subltle with some bready hints. The first sip revealed a very smooth caramel-malty sweetness with maybe just a touch of citrus followed by a slight hoppy finish. I reallly had lots of fun drinking this marvelous brew while grooving to the sounds of the Christopher Dean Band. What a great combination!!!!!

Draft at brewpub. Poured a brown hue with an average frothy off-white head that was lasting with fair lacing. Good roasted malt and sweet aroma. Medium to full body. Very good well balanced flavor of malt and a bitter sweet finish. Good brew.
