Oktoberfest is our fresh take on the classic Märzen-style Lager. With a 5% ABV, this amber-colored Lager boasts a clean, rich profile with toasty, bready notes and a restrained bitterness. It finishes dry, making it easy to reach for another sip. We went the extra mile for our take on this traditional German-style beer by employing a complex mashing program, featuring multiple temperature steps and a single decoction. This meticulous process keeps the beer dry while coaxing out subtle caramel flavors from the malt, leading to a perceived sweetness that comes through without being cloying.

Can to mug.
Appearance: chill haze burnt orange to amber color with a finger's worth of white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: apple fleshy scents, fruity estery yeastiness, soft warm breadiness and a very little bit of earthy spice
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine malty sweet quality; finishes very smooth and malty
Texture: light to medium bodied - leaning towards the light side slightly; very sessionable; good carb level
Overall: seems a bit between a festbier and a Märzen, but mostly fine to me, though nothing over the top.
