Oktoberfest
Twin Lakes Brewing Co.

I really like the look of this beer; orange and hazy with a nice white head but it doesn't really look like an Oktoberfest. Slightly fruit nose with not much else "beery". Maybe it was too late but I really didn't get that toasted malt you would think from an Oktoberfest. I like the flavor of this beer, it's got some mixed fruity flavor and then a grainy malt finish. Decent beer, different.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not sure if this beer meets my expectations of an Oktoberfest, but it is a good lager. Pours dirty golden hazy with a little orange. There is a decent thin-sustaining head and surprisingly good lacing.

There is not much to the smell at all (I rarely notice much in lagers), I'd be stretching to make something up.

The taste starts crisp and a little bitter, with a bit of carbonation. It tastes like... beer, with some citrus notes of lemon/orange, but they are very faint. It stays refreshing throughout, but there is a depth and dryness in the back that keeps it from being just another lager, and leads to an earthiness to be enjoyed.

As I said, I don't feel this screams Oktoberfest (it is listed as a Vienna lager), as ut is missing some of the malt forward nature. However, it is a solid beer from a brewery I just learned of.
