12 oz. can, 5.5% ABV, CANNED: 07/18/23
AROMA: Smells moderately sweet with scents of caramel and malt.
APPEARANCE: Pours a slightly hazy amber, with a very tall, light-tan head, that dissipates very slowly and has excellent lacing.
TASTE: Lightly sweet with mild caramel flavor. The finish is mildly dry and has a hint of banana at the very end. Honestly, this really isn't a complex beer. Which equates to a very simple flavor profile.
MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied but pushing close to being full-bodied. Slightly tacky texture with above-average carbonation.
OVERALL: I think the biggest drawback to this beer is that it is a little too simple. It only has a couple of aromatic and flavor points, and that's it. Additionally, none of those points are particularly note-worthy. Having said that, I find it to be a pleasant beer that certainly won't offend anyone's palate. Which makes for a nice beer to just chill out with, at a local bar or gathering. And when you think about it, is kinda what Oktoberfest is all about. Hanging with friends while sipping on a few brews!
TIP: Fresh out of the fridge, everything is pretty muted. So for best results, let the beer warm to about 58 F and you'll get much fuller aromatic and flavor profiles.
NOTE: RateBeer shows an ABV of 6.2%, but the can I bought says 5.5%. I'm guessing Crooked Can reformulated, this year.
