This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a sly hazy bronzed to burnt golden amber color with a slim finger’s worth of foamy to bubbly head that quickly died off. There wasn’t any lacing.
The smell started off with crisp sweet caramel malts running into toffee and nuts. A light earthy to grassy hop rounded out the edges nicely.
The taste was moderately sweet with a semi-balanced grassy edge to the flavor, not bad, good for the most part. A lingering sweet caramel maltiness runs into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing smooth sweetness rolling over my tongue.
Overall, to me, it works as an Oktoberfest. I’d have again.

This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a slight hazy burnt brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light messy lacing sticking and then sliding down into the beer.
The smell started off with a sharp sweet breadiness rolling over some nutty malts. Lager yeast shows a nice sweet effect.
The taste was mainly sweet with a slight smokey effect rolling over in flavor. A slight roasty to sweet aftertaste rolls into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly smooth with a decent sharp nuttiness hitting my tongue.
Overall, as a Munich Dunkel, it works. I’d have again and it could definitely be a decent food beer. Maybe closer to dessert.

12 oz. bottle thanks to Willrunforbeer for the share! Aroma has that distinct Bohemian pils malt and damp grass clippings. Maybe a trace of honey. Flavor is spot on the style. Big Pils malt, light hop balance with a slightly funky lager yeast in the finish. Has that Macro lager yeast finish, OH YEAH!

Best by date of 10/03/15.
This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a transparent golden yellow color with carbonation rising at a decent pace. A one finger white foamy head accompanied the top of the beer and gently dissipated leaving some light stringy and clingy lacing.
The smell started off with a sweet biscuit ordeal and blended into some light sweet corn.
The taste was mainly sweet and added a light crisp bready setting leading into a refined gentle biscuity aftertaste and having no finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation comes across fairly smooth leading to an all around smooth feel over my tongue.
Overall, I say as a Munich Helles lager, it works. It would probably be a great food beer.

This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy golden orange color with a two finger white foamy head that dissipated within about thirty seconds leaving messy clingy lacing sticking to the glass.
The smell started off with crisp sweet nutty malts leading into a slight sweet biscuity edge.
The taste was mainly sweet through the combination of the nutty malts and biscuity aspect and also allowing a slight roastiness coming into balance. There’s a nutty aftertaste and a quick sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation feels right and leads to a nice smoothness about it.
Overall, this was a pretty good Vienna Lager that I could have again.
