can. Translucent amber-red color with a small diminishing off white head. The aroma is mild, earthy in character, with soils, straw and roasted grains. The taste is more roasted grains, some caramel, malts, and straw. Palate is medium with prickly carbonation. Finishes dry and a tad sweet. Overall: More of a polotmavy than a marzen, but I liked it.

Caramel malt and hay aroma. Dark amber with large tan head. Mildly sweet toffee malt and mildly bitter hay flavor. Okay body. Smooth but pretty light flavor - not bad but disappointing compared to their collaborations.

Canned August 9th 2021.
Pours a clear amber with a long lasting head of foam.
Smells of caramel and bready malt, low sweetness level but lower bitterness level which fits the style.
Bready, nice caramel malt flavour, bitterness nearly non existent, easy drinking, good mouthfeel, an excellent non collaborative Oktoberfest from Sierra Nevada. Drink up!

The yearly wait is over, the one seasonal I'm truly excited about. I'm digging it this year too, so that's good, always worried about a let down. Dark reddish brown, modest head. Nose has light toasted malt, even lighter indistinct herbal hop notes. Flavor leans more caramel, balanced with a semi-spicy hop flavoring, I really like that. Soft body, very clean fermentation profile. Lean finish is medium bitter. Overall medium bodied, semi-sweet. Can from Sprouts in Oviedo, FL

12 oz can purchased at the Trader Joe’s in Leawood, Kansas. 071621 stamped on the bottom of the can. The pour is clear copper, caramel brown with a ½ inch light tan head that falls with splotchy lace. The aroma is toasted grain, caramel malt, soft hay and a hint of apple sweet. The taste is the caramel malt, soft fruit sweet and finishing with clean fresh toasted grain. The palate is medium to light bodied, nice carbonation and a clean toasted grain finish. Nice Oktoberfest.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear copper with a finger of beige head. Biscuit, caramel focused nose. Palate is similar with some light toasted malt, more caramel and biscuit notes. Balanced finish.
