Draft - Nice citrus hops and lots of caramel. Clear gold with a good white head. Pithy up front bitterness, mellowed with lots of caramel sweetness and a dry finish. Smells much better than the taste, a bit too bitter.

Draft - Light grains. Clear gold with a rich beige head. Bitter citrus and caramel. Bitterness is a bit high without the twiggy bitterness I expect.

Hazy amber color. Light aroma, but the malt flavor is more pronounced than in other beers within the style, with a hay and grassy touch, and slightly-above-average bitterness; biscuity and roasted hints too, roasted peanuts.
Nice.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy dull orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is subtle, with English hops and faint malt backing. Flavour is rather off-putting, with vegetal notes, English hops and metallic notes. Something seems wrong to here as it tastes pretty skunked. Not good.

Reviewed from old notes. Gee weez, I had this before I lived in Alaska. Thank you to Tom for sending this to me when I lived in Maine.
This was poured into a pilsener.
The appearance was a light copper to orange color with a one finger white foamy to bubbly head that dissipated leaving barely any lacing and what there was - was kinda all over.
The smell had a light toffee and caramel with a buttery note to it along with a biscuity malt to it.
The taste was basically the same with a light spiciness in and out of it.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it.
Overall, not a bad Oktoberfest, but not one of the better ones. Still, I wouldn’t mind trying more from this brewery.

On tap. Pours a dark copper with moderate head. light aromas of grass, toast, and caramel. Flavors are same with sweet malts up front and dry grassy hops to finish. Nothing special though.

Cloudy dark amber color, almost red-brown, with almost no head. Mild vinous aroma. The mouthfeel is not too dry; some vinous flavor too, and the expected salt; mild acidity; but the wine brings a character more similar to vinegar than fruits, so overall the elements are not very cohesive, although it’s not a bad beer.
