On tap at SanTan - PHX Airport, pours a cloudy dark amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma has bready malt, sweet caramel and light herbaceous notes — doesn't smell like an Oktoberfest. Flavour is drier, with bready malt, a hint of toasted caramel, and light estery notes. Not remotely convincing as an Oktoberfest. It's not disastrous but really just doesn't work.

Clean copper with a off white head. Malty, earthy hops, a bit of caramel sweetness. Short finish with a little bite. Easy going fest beer.

12oz can from Total in Tempe pours with a clear deep copper body that has thin gold edges and supports a thin near white head. The aroma offers up brown sugar, some caramel malts, dates and raisins with a faint tart yeastiness at the end of the draw. The taste is similar with brown sugar and caramel malts starting things off and then it gets into sweet dark fruity notes like dates, figs and raisins.
