Pour is a hazy brown with a small white head. Aroma is some toasted bread and a bit of nuttiness. Flavor is some bland malt and overall very watery. This was a bit too thin. Needed a lot more malt presence.

Draft. Clear amber body with a frothy, off-white head, diminishing. Aroma of toasted grain, caramel, nuts. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Some biscuit taste with a hint of raw grain. A bit chalky in the finish. Just kinda blah with hints of dusty grain.

12oz bottle. Filtered orange-amber body. Thin, fading white head. Relatively thin for the style malt-wise, but it works. Pleasant hop balance. Really clean and drinkable. Well brewed, no off tones, nice lagering. Pretty simplistic but well done nonetheless.

12 ounce bottle into dimpled mug, bottled in 2014. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy golden orange color with a 1 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of caramel, toasted bread, light honey, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with well balanced bready malt and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, toast, biscuit, light honey, light nuttiness, herbal, floral, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Fair amount of earthy herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, biscuit, light nuttiness, herbal, floral, light pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Good balance and robustness of bready malt and earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Nicely clean on lager flavors with minimal yeast ester notes present. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, crisp, and slightly bready/sticky mouthfeel that is good. A fair amount of dryness as well. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a solid Oktoberfest style. All around good robustness and balance of bready malt and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A pleasantly enjoyable offering.

Tap - lively dark copper - a fairly dry, toasty, and smooth take on the style - the malts are veey rich, and do bring some bready sweetness on the tail end, but it is toasty and biscuity until that point - very light floral hops - a touch of acidity to cut through the malt in the finish - solid ofest.
