Weeping Radish Oktoberfest

not quite what I’m looking for. first and foremost the brewing water taste a bit old. slight dusty with some tartness.

The aroma is sour, dusty, and buttery with a touch of grass. The appearance is amber with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma with a touch of paper and vinegar. The palate is thin. Overall this is not at all to style and it has problems but it has a great buttery finish.

bottle, from Raleigh Wholefoods. Ok aroma, sweet, malty, lite grassiness and sourdough. Hazed brownish orange color, small head that quickly faded to nothing, no lace. Bittersweet flavor, malty, fruity. caramel, apple, tad sour too. Medium body, watery mouthfeel, tart finish. Not one to get excited about, though I had minor hopes that this brewery would nail an Ofest.

1 pint, 9 oz. bottle. Pours slightly hazy dark amber with no head (and little fizz). Deep German malt aroma. Weak watery malty flavor, with some spicy notes and a dry salty finish. Almost dead flat with a watery body to boot. Carbonated, this might have promise, but my bottle was a dud and the score reflects it.

Bottle courtesy of durhambeer. Pours mahogany with a thin head. Smells of caramel, dough, spice, some mellow fruity hints. Tastes earthy with some citrus and pepper. A little flat on the mouthfeel.

500 ml. Dark copper with a thin disc of foam that leaves some soapy lace. Faint aroma of caramel apple. Flavor is sour apple with a bit of caramel, then some grain and dry grass on the finish. Light-medium body is smooth and dryish.

perfectly good beer, golden in color, amberish, love it from the stein bottle

Deep caramel color with an off white head that quickly went away. Rich malty aroma with a tad too much alcohol present. Definitve nutty maltiness present, but a bit on the thin side. I like that fact that it’s not very sweet, just wish it had a bit more of a malty punch.
