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.

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.

5oz at Cape Coral. Clear dark ciopper with reddish tints. Holy grandma's hot tea and sugar. Low bitterness and not overly hot or astringent. But it's a lot like sweet tea. Which is ok for such a big beer. Probably needs some tinkering with the malts only.

5oz draft at Cape Coral location. No head or lacing. Cloudy yellow. First If all, not a saison. Light notes if strawberry syrup. And something else weird - herbal bark thing. In flavor as well. A little tart at end of flavor. Low esters and not sweet. But not a very pleasant experience with fake strawberry and some other aspects atop a messy base beer.

5oz at Cape Coral location. Pretty rose water clear color. But I can't tell the difference from the base beer. I mean cranberry isn't something that can give off much flavor. See the other rating for more dets.
