Clear amber body with medium beige head. Aroma is floral and caramel. Taste is sweet caramel, with light floral bitterness in support. Medium body. Overall, I find it too sweet.

Pours a clear ruby copper with a semi-thick off-white head. Lightly sour caramel malt and musty grain aroma. Body is lighty sweet and dry with a decent balance of hops. Sticky earthy malt finish speckled with noble hops. An ok oktoberfest.

Playful caramel malt with assertive lemon hops…Loads of oranges unite the two but the game is not as lush and everlasting as I remember...

Medium-dark amber, very clear, small fast-thinning head. Slightly smoky, malty nose is rather indistinct. Flavor also somewhat smoky, more bitter than usual but not extraordinarily so, thinnish body. OK.

Pours a reddish bronze with a tall tan head. Nose is lightly malted but no spice is evident. The tongue is nutty and malted but definitely more hops than a German Octoberfest beer. Good to see a little spin on a standard style. Finishes with a little bit crisp hoppiness. Not overly complex, but a good beer nonetheless.

Sweet candied malt aroma, ruby colour, tiny vanilla head. Robust, candied malt and raisins flavour. Some bitterness, sweet, full bodied. Fair.
