A traditional German Lager. Medium body that highlights the Vienna and Munich malts balanced by a dry, clean hop finish. A beer worth celebrating!

Canned on 8/4/22; consumed on 11/2/22
Pours a clear, honey-orange body capped with two fingers of fluffy, off-white foam; decent head retention leaves a vague layer of cap, thin, frothy collar, and a limited array of webby lacing strewn haphazardly across the walls of the glass.
Aroma opens to minerality and a slightly fruity yeastiness, developing hints of brown sugar into caramel over time as brief, toasty edges take hold near the back end.
Taste shows fruity yeast sporting a lesser minerality as sweet toffee guides a slightly nutty mid-palate toward brown bread and subtle toast into the finish.
Mouthfeel offers a body on the lighter end of medium and a rounded, moderate carbonation, leaving semi-creaminess into a delicate spritz fading through the mid-palate as a dry, taut roast proceeds over the back end.
Semi-toasty with a forward minerality and abrupt turn to sweetness over time, the overall profile meander to a noncommittal approach, not quite muddled but expressing few prominent aspects.

This poured copper colored, nearly clear and topped with a manilla colored head that dissipated fairly quickly.
The aroma was malty and biscuit forward with some floral type accents wafting through.
The taste followed, the malts are well chosen and the noble hops help bring the traditional Märzen style beer to the glass.
The feel was spot on. Really enjoyed this.
It may have been because it was my first fest beer this season, but it was really good.
