Blink and you’ll think you’re in Bavaria. We went all in on tradition with our Oktoberfest, using imported German malts and hops with a beautiful lager yeast for the finish. Pours a gorgeous copper hue with a rich, malty and slightly sweet backbone. Our version is akin to the beer poured in the early days of Oktoberfest and, yes, it adheres to the Reinheitsgebot. Prost!

12oz can. Pretty nice beer. Leans into the sweet malts, not much bitterness or hop balance. A little sweeter on the palate then typical for the style, smooth malts. Very drinkable. Perhaps not my favorite example of the style but a pleasant enough beer.

Canned July 1st 2022.
Pours a crystal clear copper with a good head of foam though not long lasting. Minimal lacing.
Smells kinda malty, some bread, light caramel, some hoppy notes but not overly hoppy.
The taste has the bread, not too sweet caramel, light hop presence.
Low end of medium bodied, this is pretty nice. One of the better American Märzens I have tried.

355 ml can poured in to a Dimpled mug. Clear amber colour with a thin white head. Sweet aroma with toffee, hay, caramel malts and a spiced note. Taste is sweet. Medium bodied. Drying fruity finish with caramel malts and a grassy spiced note. Very nice Festbier.
