On tap at Mr. Brews in Melbourne. Pours clear amber with a small off-white head, light lacing. Caramel, wheat, mild sweet. Ok

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.

12 oz. can, 5.5% ABV, CANNED: 07/18/23

AROMA: Smells moderately sweet with scents of caramel and malt.

APPEARANCE: Pours a slightly hazy amber, with a very tall, light-tan head, that dissipates very slowly and has excellent lacing.

TASTE: Lightly sweet with mild caramel flavor. The finish is mildly dry and has a hint of banana at the very end. Honestly, this really isn't a complex beer. Which equates to a very simple flavor profile.

MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied but pushing close to being full-bodied. Slightly tacky texture with above-average carbonation.

OVERALL: I think the biggest drawback to this beer is that it is a little too simple. It only has a couple of aromatic and flavor points, and that's it. Additionally, none of those points are particularly note-worthy. Having said that, I find it to be a pleasant beer that certainly won't offend anyone's palate. Which makes for a nice beer to just chill out with, at a local bar or gathering. And when you think about it, is kinda what Oktoberfest is all about. Hanging with friends while sipping on a few brews!

TIP: Fresh out of the fridge, everything is pretty muted. So for best results, let the beer warm to about 58 F and you'll get much fuller aromatic and flavor profiles.

NOTE: RateBeer shows an ABV of 6.2%, but the can I bought says 5.5%. I'm guessing Crooked Can reformulated, this year.

16 oz. draft at Meg O'Malley's. Clear, dark reddish-bronze color with a small beige head and very good retention. Weirdly, no aroma at all. Tastes like a mix of a Marzen and an Irish red ale. Lighter than average caramel notes with light bitterness. Medium+ body and medium+ carbonation. Maybe not a strict Oktoberfest beer, but it's very good.

Draft pour enjoyed at Rock & Brews, Kissimmee. Can and dark copper appearance. Patchy head. Aroma is sweet caramel malts and a hint of dark fruit. Flavor has a lot of construction paper grain, some caramel, and a long bready, cool finish. Slick finish. Enjoyable enough within the style for me.

This was drinkable enough but didn't really feel like a real marzen/ofest. It was really caramelly sweet, didn't have some of the toasty elements or hop presence I might get from a better ofest. Across the board a sweet caramel grain brown lager.
