Presentation: It was poured from a brown 1 pint, 6oz bottle into a mug. The bottle has nice list of ingredients use including the malts and hops. The IBUs are listed at 29 but there is no ABV% or freshness date.
Appearance: It has a deep slightly orange golden color with lots of carbonation and a good two and a half finger tall head. The head is creamy white and quickly settles to just a thin covering. This thin cap still makes lots of sticky lacing on the glass.
Smell: The aroma has a firm bready and nutty character with a spicy/floral noble hop presence.
Taste/Palate: There is a good bit of deep bready and lightly roasted grain flavor with some good nutty notes and an excellent balance of spicy noble hopes. It finishes with mild hop bitterness and a clean biscuity dryness. The palate is spot on with a firm extremely drinkable medium body and lively carbonation.
Notes: To me this is an outstanding example of the style that really captures that German Lager essence. Maybe it's the malt, maybe it's the hops or maybe that Free Range Coastal Water they use but it works. Prost!!!

L: 22 oz. bottled poured into a clear Oktoberfest mug fills with an orange amber liquid with a little haze crowned by a 4” cream colored foam collar with a very fine bead. Produces thick lace.
S: Big bread and malt aromas with a light spicy note.
T: Starts slightly sweet but overall relatively dry with rich, spicy malt flavors, light bread, moderate spicy hop bitterness.
F: Clean and smooth, just above medium body and medium low carbonation.
O: Not over the top inany way but a decent, drinkable Oktoberfest.
