Why do I keep coming back this crap brewer? I will tell you why. It is because I am a beer whore. This pours a bright amber with a solid white cap displaying mediocre retention and no lace. Low aroma of corny malt kissed with caramel. Palate is largely the same. I am thankful that there was no weird chemical traits in this one though.

bottle - Pours light copper with a one finger white head. It has a mild caramel malt aroma and a taste to match. There’s just a touch of hops in this unremarkable, light bodied brew. It’s not bad. There’s just little to recommend it.

Pour was a very light golden with light malt and biscut aroma. Flavor is also light. Needs more malt characters. Also very light hops.

All malt here. Pretty unremarkable. There isn’t much flavor and what flavor there is is annoying.

I am going with a solid 9/20 on this guy. OK taste, it just feels watered down. Or maybe its just regular beer that has orange coloring. Either way, it was ok to have with food but not something i would ever be craving.

Decided to try out their offering of Oktoberfest and was slightly disappointed. Beer poured from the bottle a nice copper color with little head and leaves almost no lacing. Aroma is malty, slightly smokey and has a fruity,pear aroma. Flavor is first a sweet malty caramel flavor which moves into a very sweet pear flavor. Beer does have some decent weight in your mouth but also has a slight metallic twang in it The flavor of the beer does get better as it sits out and warms up. and I highly recommend to let it warm before drinking it The fruit tones really come out as it warms. Overall an ok beer for the price but style wise, it could use some improvement.

Had a cup at the Berghoff Oktoberfest across the street. Kind of bitter, kind of sweet, creamy mouthfeel, though not that great. In all fairness, I was chewing gum while I drank this, but I’m not sure that mattered.

One big let down from Berghoff !! I must say creamy and sweet and bitter at the same time.
