These people in MN sure know how to brew a good Oktoberfest.
Pours amber.
Aroma is hoppy pine, citrusy and rye.
Taste lightly hoppy, malty giving a near vegetable mouthfeel. The finish is lightly hoppy. Easy to drink, good stuff.

Dec 7, 2008 Big thanks to tbd975 for bringing two cans of this tasty Surly brew. Pours clear deep copper with thin off white head. The mild aroma has notes of malts, some rye sting and a bit of rich sweet smelling fruity esters. The taste has a quick pulse of malt sweetness followed by a tasty rye twang. By midway the hops build up with notes coming from citrus, earthiness and spice all mixing together with the solid rye note. It ends with lingering hops and rye. YUM.

Dec 7, 2008 Can courtesy of tpd975. Pours a clear copper with a one finger off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of spicy rye, sweet malt, and spicy earthy hops. Taste is the same as aroma with the rye being very prominent. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Very good.

Nov 28, 2008 Can can can can can can. Pours a dark amber with a soapy white head. The aroma has quite a bit of rye, floral hops, caramel. Flavor was orange citrus, caramel, tons of rye, earth, floral hops, bubblegum. Finishes bitter with a nice amount of carbonation. Not to style but takes everything I like about oktobers and adds everything I like about beer. Yum.

Nov 28, 2008 Can from brentk56. Thanks! Nice aroma of earthy hops, toasted malts, spicy rye. Pours a hazy amber color with a super thin head. Nice earthy hop bitterness followed by more toasted malts, rye, and more earthy bitterness. Nice lingering hop presence. The most interesting Fest beer I have ever had. I would drink this frequently as a go to beer.
