Served out of a fresh growler

A-Light to medium colored orange with a nice thick head that left decent lacing throughout the glass

S- Smells of fall weather cool but crisp, with a varying sweetness that fills your nose

T- Excellent, like the smell cool but crisp in flavor but very medium to full bodied, not sure of the ABV but it fits in very nicely

M- Excellent, very mediunm to full bodied but not overy heavy like some Oktoberfests can be

D- You can drink alot of this brew, infact for this fall its already gone, going to have to wait till next year.

An extremely fresh growler poured into a dimpled seidel yields a clear bromze orangey-amber body with a huge cap of soft white foam. The head recedes to a thick ring that leaves fat bands of lacing on the glass.

The smell is toasty malts with caramel and a note of spice.

The taste is rich and malty with brown sugar sweetness and a big dry biscuity character drizzled in fine dark caramel. A dry finish owes its existence to the influence of mildly spicy, grassy hops. The aroma and flavor are more melon-like and floral as the drink warms.

On the full-bodied side with fine carbonation, the drink is silky smooth and persistently syrupy on the palate with nothing short of excellent drinkability.
