Single bottle from HyVee, Ankeny, IA. Pours a deep amber color under a short but stiff head. Caramel malty nose with a side of German hop pepper. Poured at a nice cold temp, giving a nice caramel malt taste, too. Hits just right, none of the distracting side tastes that come from other Okto's, domestic or imported.

12 oz bottle purchased as a single at the Hy Vee near Drake in Des Moines, Iowa. The pour is a slight haze copper golden brown, with a small light tan head. The aroma is caramel malt and grass floral. The taste is sweet caramel malt balanced with grass earth, nicely integrated. The palate is medium bodied with soft natural carbonation and a floral sweet caramel finish. Nice take on the style.
