I had this Fall Seasonal on tap at Bungalow while waiting for the bus. Crystal clear amber-brown with a thick light beige head and a peppery fruity caramel aroma. The taste is crisp brown sugar biscuits, light fruits and a bitter hoppy bite in the finish. This #217 is a solid Amber. It i looks like some Japanese brewers are associating the red fall leaves with Amber Ales and as long as they keep them crisp and clean, I am 100% OK with that.

Tap at Molto Stand. Rich, toasty, bready malt nose, spicy hops, herbal. Full malt flavor, strong bitterness. Seems similar to the Marzen but way better hopped and with ale yeast. Slightly better overall.
