Very solid Oktoberfest. Nice malty backbone with a good roasted bitterness and smooth taste that carries you though the fall trees.

Pours darkish orange with a 1-2 finger creamy off white head. Aroma is grain, toasted grain, caramel and some floral notes. Flavor is toasted grains, fresh baked bread, nice caramel and some floral hops. FInish is planty hops and a toasty caramel fade. Palate is thin to medium bodied with a slick feel most of the way through, drying slightly to the finish. Good stuff, not the greatest marzen ever but quite tasty.

Bottle, picked up at John’s Grocery in Iowa City, IA. Opened with Tom at the "What this town needs is an IHOP" tasting. Light orange, clean milk-white head. Fresh-sawn pine board aroma, dill, just a faint toasty note. Simple bready sweetness, tingly wet garden hops. Very fresh and bright.

Bottle. Poured a clear orange/amber with a thin off white head. Aroma of sweet malt and toffee. Flavor was sweet malt with caramel and bread. Good beer, but could be better.

12 oz bottle from Steve’s in WI. Pours a clear orange with a beige head that fades. Sweet malts a touch of toffee and marzen in the nose. Lightly sweet flavors some charred malt, toffee, marzen, bread, touch of bitterness. Drinkable and decent but it could use more of a hop presence.
