La Jolla Brewhouse Oktoberfest

Brewed by La Jolla Brewhouse
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
La Jolla, California USA

On draft at brewhouse. Dark orange hue, thin dissipating head, cloudy. Nose is light fruits, toasty malts, and light hops. Flavor is rich malts, melanoidins, with a hefty presense of pears and apples, modest hop bitterness and flavor, finishes slightly sweet. Medium body, watery texture, modest carbonation. A fruity variation of a marzen, not to style but still delicious, balanced, and easy drinking.

Draft at the brewhouse. Pours a mostly clear medium amber color with some red highlights, light lacing. Nose was toasted malts and grain, pretty much the same with the flavor.
