Description
Occidental Brewing Co. was founded in 2011 by Ben and Dan Engler with the goal of making well-balanced continental-style beers in the land of IPAs: Portland, Oregon. Finding a niche with beer drinkers who had grown tired of the hops arms race, we quickly grew (but not too much) with our lineup of approachable, sessionable, and award-winning ales and lagers. We began canning our core beers in 2013 and now bottle multiple seasonal offerings as well. Over the years we expanded our distribution from our Portland brewery to much of Oregon, Western Washington, Nevada, Idaho, and the occasional shipment to Japan. Look for Occidental beer in your local supermarket, bottle shop, bar or restaurant. Prost!

Pour is a dark brown almost black with a small tan head. Aroma is brown sugar, molasses and a bit of dark fruit. Flavor is toffee and a burnt sugar with molasses bringing up the rear. Everything you want in a dopplebock is here. One to seek out.

Clear light yellow body with thin white head. Light grain aroma. Light bodied malt and rice with a little finish with some hop. Occidental, stick to the German style beers you do so well.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Clear golden, fine carbonation, white fizzy head. Sweet malty aroma, really inviting. Taste is bready, biscuity, malty, mildly sweet, light weizen notes, hint of lemon and a tiny hoppy finish. This is damn good and great on a hot day.

I would call this a troepiebier, a beer brewed by an army brewer for troopies in the field. Pale blonde body with lasting white head. Light yeasty aroma. Light taste with bubblegum and biscuit. Crisp finish.
