Poured into a pint glass, the appearance had a sharp burnt red color with a nice little white head. Quickly dies. No lacing.
The aroma starts with a grassy/grainy hop bitterness and then some ruddy crisp sweet toffee to caramel malts.
The flavor seems to lean sweet with a sly composure of the hops showing a little bit of sweet. Quick malty sweet aftertaste with a sly grassy bitter hopped finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Pure smooth sweet malts move nicely on my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good Oktoberfest that I could have again.

tap - Found some old notes from last year, sampled at the brewpub - This brew has a caramel malt aroma and a sweet caramel and toffee flavor. It’s light to medium bodied with minimal hops. Okay.
