Bottle @ home picked up @ Wilbur’s Foco. Pours a dark rust orange appearance with an off white head. Caramel, toasted malty, slightly floral, herbal hoppy aroma. A little chewy malty, light bubblegum, a bit zesty yeasty, caramel flavor. Pretty decent beer.

From notes. Meh, this brew is ok. Vegetables and a little toffee. Nothing I would want to drink again.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Half Time, 10/17/12
Aroma: The nose is malts, grains/yeast, a little caramel, and nutty notes
Appearance: It pours a clear, bright orange color with a small white off-head
Flavor: The taste is medium sweet, and fairly heavy malty, without much hop presence
Palate: This one feels smooth and clean, with a light-medium body to it
Overall Impression: This is a fine beer. It is drinkable, malty, and unremarkable. It is both seasonal and sessionable. I don't have a ton to say beyond that.

Bottle. Amber color. Not a lot here, but some dry malt and considerable hops, it seems like they just brewed a beer and threw the Oktoberfest label on it without regard to what this style of beer is supposed to be. Still, it is ok on its own. Dry, bread finish.

Clear copper - fizzy head that diminishes rather quickly - nose has a fair amount of the malt richness of a real ofest, but there is also a light metallic note, toasted grain - light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation - moderate malt character (Munich) - flavors of toffee and toasted grains - the faintest bit of floral hops - the finish brings a little huskiness, but it is not that noticeable - simple, easy drinking - but why not just make an actual Oktoberfest?

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a caramel color with a large soapy orange-tan head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sour, tangy and a bit industrial with faint caramel and fruit. The flavor was sweet, tangy and mealy with light caramel and fruit and an undertone reminiscent of old school American lagers. The finish was medium length caramel and tangy old school lager. Medium body. Ok.
