16 oz. can. 8.8 ABV. Pours a clear dark copper color with a small tight beige head and Decent retention. Spots of lacing. Light caramel malt nose. Surprisingly little flavor at all except for a late boozy finish. Very minimal spices. Disappointing.

Canned as Oktoberfest. Toasty, semi-sweet, really can taste the Munich malt in particular, almost vinous as I sometimes think it is (in a dark grape juice kind of way). This might be slightly underhopped, or rather I've drinking too much of that Sierra Nevada ofest. But it's just a little too sweet for me. Amber-orange color.

Can at home. Not sure if this is known by that original name anymore just Oktoberfest I would think. Pours darker copper than most fests. Nose is toast and caramel. Tastes of earthy malt, brown sugar, caramel, fairy fruity. Medium bodied slightbsweet.

Orangey-amber, short lived head, a little tea-like in the glass, not esp lively looking. Nose is bigly fruity, and floral. Papaya? Def can detect the hibiscus. Fairly sweet malt body, low in carb so it sits a little heavy on the palate - and a beer this low in ABV shouldn't do that. Floral elements skirt the edges just like hops do, but there's little hops here outside of some bittering.

16 oz can. Pours a hazy golden-orange color with a large khaki head and very good retention. Spotty lacing. Saison-like yeasty and flowery aroma. The taste follows the nose. A little yeasty, a little flowery, a little hefe-like and a slightly sour finish. The mix just doesn't work for me. Pass.

Well it’s a pale lager. Drank out of can at Bruins Lightning playoff game. Go B’s. Normal pale lager but well done and tasty enough.
Not bad, smokey

5oz draft at Cape Coral location. Glad they didn't call it a Saison. It's your standard slightly sweeter and slightly more estry beer than one wants. But I have a higher threshold for this.
