The beer pours a hazy reddish gold color with a thin white lace head that fades to lacing. The aroma is decent. It is slightly malty with a breadlike scent. The taste is good. It has a bit of a malty flavor with a bitter dry finish. The mouthfeel is good. It is a low/medium bodied beer with adequate carbonation. It is a good drinker. I've had better Fest style beers than this.

From my brother. He stocks up with this beer where he lives in PA and I think buys two full cases of it. Only beer he seems to 'swear by'. Yeah, my February PA visits I usually find him still drinking the previous Autumn's batch.
Anyways, for me, I poured my bottle into a glass mug.
The appearance was a nice looking slightly muddied gold color. Topped by a slim off white cap of a head. Mild semi-stringy lace.
The aroma had some sweet biscuits melding with some German yeast sweet toastiness. Some white bread.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side of those malts. Slight earthy nuttiness. Then a mild aftertaste of honey, white bread and pretzels.
The mouthfeel between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation and some stickiness but with a nice smoothness. Finishes malty crisp and pushes away any possible cloying characters.
Overall, pretty good O-fest. I'd have again.
