Commercial Description:
Haunting the congregation with its distinct copper color and rich toasted malt flavor, this true German-style Oktoberfest lager is smooth in body and uses German hops in the brewing process to balance out the distinctive, toasted malt sweetness. The clean smoothness is created by the long conditioning (lagering) process of 8 weeks.

(Bowie, rated on-site using brewpub’s WiFi) Crystal clear body with off-white head. Aroma is mild, medium sweet, caramel, light earthy. Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, some candi sugar, light cherry, earthy in finish with a touch of peat. Medium body with some stickiness. Evokes a Scottish Ale.

This beer rocks. Handsome beer. Pristine copper hue. Medium sized, white, frothy head with good lacing. Very malty, slightly sweet. Lively carbonation. Full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Finishes nice and fairly dry (for an Oktoberfest.

Bright red, barely brown. Small tan head. That sweet-toasty marzen aroma. A bit tart, underbittered, lightly sweet. Again with the soapiness in the flavor profile - don’t know if that’s a house flavor or a bad dishwasher. Move on, nothing to see here.

From 1-day-old growler. Pours a reddish-orange color; minimal off-white head. Aroma shows candy sugar, tea-like maltiness, a bit of spice. Crisp, medium mouthfeel: good malt presence, light carbonation; one-dimensional but tasty, hints of belgian sugar and cloves. Very tasty Oktoberfest.
