Commercial Description:
A full rich bodied, hoppy, seasonal lager. Especially brewed for the Festbier season. This beer truly represents the Bavarian way of celebrating. Deep gold color, great mouthfeel and lots of flavor. Prost!

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden orange with a white head. Aroma is malt and grain faintly reminiscent of the style. Taste is a weaker version of your normal Oktoberfest. It’s good, but it’s not quite among the great.

Bottle. Pours a clear medium yellow with a 2 finger snow white head and spotty ;acing. Nose is malt, grassy hops and grain. Taste is light citrus, sweet malt and a touch of spice with a dry pilsner finish. Medium mouth feel. Decent – easy drinker.

I FOUND THE BEER TO BE SOMEWHAT FLAVORFUL like beer and a bit like seven up but not bad really! cloudy with adequate malt and barley character and a mildly fruity and citrus like flavor, welll anyway i enjoyed it out amongst the folks here in nyc on this fine evening! caramel sweetness fits in nice here and with the barely cool breeze. drinkable and has a decent body. and a nice hop though light finish.

Yellow. Big creamy head. Aroma: German hops, sweet malts, honey. Flavor: Same but almost like a Pilsner. Clean finish.

Clear light gold color with a frothy white head. Good retention and lacing. Toasted straw and grain aroma with Saaz hop spiciness. Munich maltiness, some nice moderate sweetness with a citrus/lemongrass hoppiness that provides balance. Mouthfeel is great, carbonation is soft but adequate, body is medium-thin but full-flavored, drinkability is excellent.

(bottle) pours a clear, pale golden colour with a frothy white head. aroma of grassy hops, light pale malts, caramel and sweetcorn. super-light flavour of grainy malts and hops. medium carbonation and body.

much lighter than i expected in body and taste. grass hops and grain in the aroma. very similar to a pils in some ways. taste is some good caramel and bread to match the light but defined hops in the finish.
