Moon River Savannah Fest Beer

Brewed by Moon River Brewing Company
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Savannah, Georgia USA

Rich orange body with a small cream-colored head. Aroma is mild. Flavor is full and malty with moderate hoppiness to balance it out. Not bad.

Draught. Pours light gold/yellow. Aroma is a bit of pumpkin and spice, very mild. Good use of hops make the spicy and toasty malt flavor quite enjoyable.

Moon River Brew Tap, Savannah. Pours out orange, copper in color. Not much aroma. Malty with a little bit of a hop bite in the taste. I wasn’t impressed by the beer.

Pours a light yellowish-orange - crystal clear with a thin off-white head. The color seemed a little pale for the style. The aroma was mostly malt and some yeast - overall a little muted. The flavor was not as clean as it should be - but they served it a bit warm for a lager. There was a firm caramel malt profile but it was tainted with graininess and burnt toast flavors. The hops provided a subdued bitterness in the finish. Overall, a little weak-tasting for the style - but a good session beer.

on tap-pours an off white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is medium malt-sweet/caramel. Taste is medium malt-sweet/caramel, secondary/faint hops. Mild carbonation.

Draft pint at the brewpup; True amber and quite active, this looks yummy. Light malty aroma. This is a decently interpreted Fest, lightly caramelled but with a predominate malt basis, wraps up with a nice hoppy bite in the finish. Well balanced. (#2825, 4/25/2007)

Gold. Fresh hoppy aroma, with good head. Creamy smoothness. Slight bitterness but is refreshing and clean. Had on River Street in Savannah.

Draft. I tried this in 3 different places in Savannah, but the best and freshest was at the brewery. Pours a light copper amber with a thin white head. The aroma is initially malty with some slight floral notes at the end. The flavor is very good. A nice malty flavor with a light hoppy finish. It is lighter than most marzen’s but has a great balanced flavor.
