Pours a hazy amber from a bottle. Spicy coriander and lemongrass aroma, similar flavor, not much going on here, kind of is what it says. Good beer.

35cl Bottle from Deen. ABV is 5.1%, brewed and bottled by Peak (not for, but by). Shipyard not mentioned on the label. BB 10-2016 (why even bother importing this stuff?). Hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of soft citrus, light veggies, light malty, a bit herbal, English Pale Ale character. Flavour is light to medium sweet, light malty, light herbal, some citrus, light hoppy, decent bitterness, hint of veggies. Light bodied, a bit fizzy. Not bad.

Bottle from a Lazy Dog Mostly clear deep copper color with a thin off white head that dissipates quickly. Toasty butterscotch on the nose with bits of earthy citrus to counter. Flavor follows the aroma. I’m not sure how fresh that bottle was but there wasn’t a whole lot of hop character.

Can from Hannaford, just shy of out of date. Somewhat hazy light golden color with a huge frothy bubbly beige head that persists. Huge hop on the nose, citrus floral earthy spicy with a fair amount of sweet bready malt underneath. Spicy earthy resinous hop flavor almost drowns out what malt there is here.Light bready toasty malt. Moderate level of bitterness. This is a fairly tasty beer, but doesn’t remind me much of an Oktoberfest. Call it a hop harvest ale and leave off the ofest and I would have rated it much higher.
