Can to shaker. Pours a dark amber with 1 finger quickly dissipating cream white head. Aroma is light, bready malt. Flavor is caramel forward with some light hop finish, the caramel lingers a bit. Light bodied, the carbonation is a bit high for my liking. Decent Oktoberfest offering.

Like a carbonated butterscotch candy. Very malty and on the sweet side, but the texture is good and it never grows cloy. Better than expected.

Can (25030231719) from Friar Tuck Beverage, Crestwood. Lightly hazy, iced tea brown with light sparkle, ample head with poor retention, trace lacing. Aroma is strong toffee. Taste is as aroma. Smooth, thin, frothy texture, light body, soft carbonation and finish as taste with mild hop bitterness. I'll go along with smooth and rich, but not complex. Meh.

Can, thanks Immanuel! Corn aroma with notes of grain and grassy hops. Pours clear, pale golden colored with a thin white head that has very little retention and no lacing. Starts with corn and grainy malt flavors. Finishes crisp, clean and refreshing with grassy hop flavors. It’s beer.
