This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a mostly transparent copper color with a rising carbonation to meet a slim finger’s white foamy head. Rings of melting foamy lace cling initially to the glass but slide into the beer.
The aroma starts with sly twist of sweet oaky spice over sweet caramel and toffee malts. Crisp nuttiness blends nicely like a good Oktoberfest. Crisp semi-sweet to bitter grassy hops make a light presence.
The flavor leans sweet through the malts allowing the spice to lightly come back with the hops, semi-bitter. Aftertaste seems to lean sticky sweet carrying on into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation rides fairly light, semi-sticky but allowing the spice to lightly hit in a fairly sharp sort of way.
Overall, to date, this has got to be the absolute most interesting Oktoberfest. All qualities of the style show their presence yet Firestone Walker gives off their creative genius. Would I have again? By all means....
