Nutty toffee malt and hay aroma. Amber with small head. Moderately sweet creamy nutty toffee malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good body.

Can bought somewhere in Columbus. Pours hazy amber orange with an off-white head. Aroma: roasted malts, caramel, spicy, light peppery hop. Taste: moderate sweet & light to moderate bitter. Soft & crisp, malt dominant. Medium body, soft carbonation, drying finish.

Can. Cloudy iced tea look about it. Smell is a sorttah fest nose. Taste is malty and somewhat bold. Yes malty almost medicinal. Gets almost viscous in the end. Thick malty finish, almost cloying but never quite gits thar.

12 ounce can into dimpled mug, canned on 8/18/2017. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy deep orange/light copper color with a 1 finger dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big brown sugar, brown bread crust, toasted biscuit, light caramel/nuttiness, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Nice aromas with good complexity of bready malts and light earthy hop notes; with good strength. A bit fruity/yeasty, but not overwhelming. Taste of big brown sugar, brown bread crust, toasted biscuit, light caramel/nuttiness, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Very mild herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of brown sugar, brown bread crust, toasted biscuit, light caramel/nuttiness, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of bready malts and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Nicely clean on lager flavors, minimal fruity/yeasty notes. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth and creamy/bready/grainy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal hop stickiness or dryness. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.4%. Overall this is a delicious Oktoberfest. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of bready malts and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the minimally bitter/drying finish. Very clean and rich Munich, Vienna, and Melanoidin malt complexity; with just enough earthy hop balance against sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a hazy toffee color with a medium sized fluffy orange-tan head that lingered and left minimal lacing. The aroma was dry with citric and perfumey hops. The flavor was dry and bitter with strong perfume followed by citrus and chalk. Long perfume and citrus finish. Medium body. Not good.
