16 oz can purchased at BeerSauce Shop in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a slightly hazed copper orange with a foamy one inch light tan head. Head falls with nice lace. The aroma is cereal grain, soft caramel malt sweetness, some floral hop. The taste is clean grass and caramel malt, really nice malt expression through to a softly earth mineral finish. The palate is medium bodied, softer carbonation and the clean cereal grain caramel malt. Nice Festbier.

This is the best Oktoberfest beer I've had to date, very impressive. Nothing really is sticking out as to why it's the best, it's just the easiest drinking one I've had and I typically don't seek out these types of beers. Will try again.

Pour is a cloudy golden with a large white head. Aroma is dark bread and bubblegum. Flavor is a very minor bread with some more bubblegum yeast esters and finishes rather sweet. While it kept my interest this is nowhere near true to style.
