Cleveland’s celebration of Oktoberfest dates to the mid 1800’s when German immigrants gathered at outdoor beer gardens like Haltnorth’s and Kindvater’s St. Clair Gardens. Our amber lager with rich malt flavor and noble hops honors Cleveland’s diverse cultural heritage.

On tap. Pours a clear gold with a tan head that dissipates to the edges quickly. Aroma has a good amount of earthy grain and bread with a bit of sweetness underlying. Flavor has sweet grains with a bit of bread and cookie backing.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with a nice foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of clean cereal notes is exactly what I would expect from the style. Taste is also dominated by cereal notes with light residual sugar with a clean finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Perfect example of the style.

A hazed amber Oktoberfest with a thick frothy light mocha head. In aroma, light caramel malt with grassy hops, light mineral notes, OK. In mouth, a light roasted caramel malt with light grassy hops, German mineral notes, OK.

It's a marzen. Difficult to be impressive.
