12 oz bottle. No mention of what style this is. I bought a single bottle of it.

It pours a vibrant fall orange with a big foamy white head with a mountain of fluff atop it. The head sticks for a good while and recedes to some lacing.

Initially it smelled hoppy but that died down and left a sweet caramally nutty character with a subtle bit of hops.

The taste is hoppier than most of the style. It has a pronounced nuttiness and pretzel flavor along with some caramel and toasted malts. There is a b it of diacetyl but it isn't too much. There is a bit of mineral water flavor in play here too.

It is a bit thin for an oktoberfest but it has a nice drinkability.

A decent americanized oktoberfest.

Served in a liter stein at a beer garden. Great orange copper color with white foam, just like an Oktoberfest style beer should look. Smells of malt with a strong note of hops. This is the first place it diverges from an standard Oktoberfest. The hops continue through, stronger than you'd expect. Somewhat supported by the malty backbone but bitter through the finish. More in line with a pale ale. It has the refreshing crisp feel of a lager and is easy to drink. Overall, its a hoppy lager, it verges on being an IPL, not a straight attempt to copy an Oktoberfest.
