355ml can (29th July 2021 on the base). Drank on 29th December 2021 while staying at my daughters in California. Poured into a pretty old Ayinger Brau 'Alpine Lager' glass tankard that I gave my daughter over 10 years ago (I had owned it from the late 1970's). Clean and clear copper/mahogany body, beige head. The first of three new (to me) O'fest beers I will be trying today. Caramel maltiness in the aroma and taste, this is fairly sweet front start to finish, not a lot of hop action going on, not problem with that, my sweet tooth actually liking it.. Enjoyed seeing and using my old glass again too!

dark amber color. Apricot fruit and bread character. A touch of caramel, bready, very clean, super drinkable. Firm bitterness. Nice.

Clear dark red, large frothy tan head, good retention. Kinda weak toffeish aroma. Taste is caramel, toffee, stone fruit, piney hops. Well balanced, a bit different. Nice.

This is one of the more disappointing SN brews. After all their success with the collab Oktoberfest you’d think they’d put some of those lessons learned into their version. Alas, that is not to be. Deep amber with a medium head. A layer of malt followed by a layer of fruity sweetness. Some baseline toasted malt, as well. Not bad but boring and well below their capabilities.

Pours clear copper with a small off white head. It smells of caramel and grainy malt. It tastes sweet with caramel malt, grain, and some fruity character with a touch of hops. A bit different for the style, it’s very good.

12 oz. can from The Mansion. Pours a crystal clear dark bronze color with a large, tight khaki head and great retention. Good lacing. Caramel malt aroma. Flavor of toasted caramel malt with a light hop finish. Not overly sweet. Lightly crisp. Medium body. Infinitely repeatable. Prost!
