Bottle. Pours a clear copper color with a medium frothy off white head. The aroma is a light malt with sweet caramel and fruit. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a bitter hop and a spicy lingering caramel. A decent marzen from Leinenkugel.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Sickly looking head quickly subsides. Sour, stale malt aromas. Bubbly with a nasty sour chalkiness from front to back. I hope there’s something wrong with this bottle.

Bottle. Pours an orange/copper with about a finger of sudsy head. Aromas are sweet malt without much other complexity. Flavor is sweet caramel with a spicy finish. Taste is surprisingly full and full of spiciness. Much better than I expected. Maybe it’s just getting on to fall and I’m over-ready.

12oz bottle. Orange-brown colored, filtered and transparent. Pretty decent Oktoberfest, would do better in a blind tasting, but being SAB is gonna open you up to some harsh criticism, perhaps justifiably so. The flavor profile is alright for the style, but the beer just fades on you into a watery finish. Crisp mild balancing hops hold the beer together. Not great, but certainly not bad either.

bottle - Pours light amber with a two finger head that fades fast and a light caramel malt aroma. It has decent caramel malt flavor and is a pretty light, smooth beer. It’s not bad, but then again there are certainly better Oktoberfests out there.

Clear light copper with an off-white head. Aroma of toasted malts, dough, and some fruits. Medium body. Flavor is similar to the aroma with some added speices. Not much of a finish. Better than a pale lager, but nothing exciting here.

This lager poured a dark orange colour with a short lived foamy off white head. To the nose I found scents of sweet malt, caramel and dough. First taste was a little watery but could taste a little hop and malt. Not much more, maybe a little spice??? The finish was thin and a slight bit bitter, nothing to write home about.

Bready yeasty arome, very little same old beer smells. has a tinge of alky on the olfactory. Slightly darker than the ubiquitous pale yellow Americana lager. Thick off white creamy head. Has a nice rolling carbonation that appears visually appealing. Good creamy carbonation on the palate. Decent slight octoberfest feel. Good manners, odd processed grassy flavors. Very little bitterness. Typical easy to drink lager impressions. One of the better less offensive fests I’ve had. Finish is well behaved but there is a tad of industrial manufactured palate that hangs for a while.
