Commercial Description:
This smooth brew ushers in Autumn with an invitingly tawny color complemented by an assertive maltiness. A noble crispness from German and Czech hops completes this very traditional lager-style beer.

Bottle sampled. Pours copper with a small eggshell head. Aroma of caramel malts, grain, a toasted nuts. The flavor is slightly sweet, caramel, grain, and has some traces of hops, finishes dry.

Pours a translucent golden amber with a smaller bubbly off white head that left hints of lacing. Aroma of sweet grainy maltiness, light spicing, some nuts and hints of caramel. Flavor of Cheerios, pretzels, some malty sweetness, tough of honey, dry, some hop spiciness.

On tap at Lancaster Brewing. Arrived at our table a clear red with a thin white ring for a head. Pleasant malty aroma. Flavor was again malt with some light hops bitterness at the finish. Medium bodied.

I think they called this by another name... "Frankenfest" or something? I’m assuming it was the same beer because it tasted pretty much like an Oktoberfest. Good beer, though, I enjoyed it even though this style has confounded me for years now.

Of the five Lancaster brews I have had all but one has rated a 4 in appearance. They seem to make good looking brews. Bright dark copper color with a tall light tan head that diminishes leaving a creamy lid and sheets of lace. Mild toasted bread with a hint of floral hops. Simple, yet effective malt flavors. Lightly toasted and very long. Linger is one in which the malt invites you back to imbibe some more. Not a great oktoberfest, but a drinkable malty amber lager.

Lightly malty nose, light amber, white head, weak malt flavor, fairly assertive hops, watery.... needs more malt.

Light copper color with minimal head. Mildly nutty aroma backed up with bread dough and caramel. Heavier bodied than their lager, which it obviously should be. Not bad.

Cask at Capital Ale House. Medium to darm amber, lovely tan head with just a sheet of lace. Slightly bitter dirt aroma. Caramel malt, oddly bitter earthen finish, very light floral note as well. Ultimately couldn’t get into the sort of gritty dirt hop flavor this seemed to possess. Interesting htough.
