Foothills Oktoberfest

Brewed by Foothills Brewing
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Winston-Salem, North Carolina USA

Couple pints on tap at Watts Grocery, Durham. Very nice amber color, vibrant and glowing, with a soft creamy head and moderate carbonation. Very nice aroma of fruity hops, a bit of honey, and the faintest hint of a roasting. Sweet in the middle without being cloying, and there are enough hops for contrast in this relatively thick-bodied beer. Finish is long and fruity. Decent example of a style I usually feel meh about.

Served on tap at The Federal in Durham, NC. Clear reddish color with a small head. Toasted malt aroma with leafy and vegetal notes. Taste is caramel with tart roasted grain notes. Medium bodied.

On tap at barleys in asheville. Poured a typical clear brown color. Aroma of light caramel and toasted malt. Flavor was a little out of balance with a metallic bitter finish. Looked good but followed through with an atypical type of drink.

(Brewgrass08) Clear amber body topped by off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, bread, orange. Taste is medium sweet, orange, bread, light earthy. Light-medium body, light crispness.

What a great tap handle, as with all of their stuff! Lightly orangey-brown pour with small head of big off-white bubbles. Very mild flavor. Malty, bread, and a little nutty. Caramel as well. Unremarkable, but very smooth.

brewgrass, wanted to try this, was one of the only real seasonal I got to at the festival. was good stuff for its style, mild on the backgrounds, but sessinalbe.

On tap at Tyler’s, Durham, NC. Crystal clear reddish amber with a beige head. Malty, nutty nose, slightly herbal. Bready flavor, a bit nutty, sweet caramel and a dash of hebal bitterness. OK.

The color was light brown with amber hues. The head was thin medium/light beige. The aroma was sweet but a little lacking. The flavor was some hop and some malt. The palate was smooth. The finish was abrupt.
