Foeder Fest
Wolf's Ridge Brewing

 

12 ounce can, packaged SEPT 09 2022, thanks to Brutaltruth for this can! Served in a dimpled mug, the beer pours a mostly clear reddish/amber color with about an inch or so off-white head that stuck around a while. There's also a lot of lacing. Aroma is nice, the brew smells like toffee, oak, toasted malt, stone fruit and herbal hops. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also some vanilla and bready flavors noticeable too. The fruit and herbal flavors stands out somewhat compared to the others but without overpowering them. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a bit coating and has a moderate amount of carbonation. I thought it was a good overall Oktoberfest, hope they make this one again next year!

Not a fan of this one at all, I had expectations as I've had other foeder lagers before and this just wasn't it at all. I'll revist this beer to see if I can come to appreciate it but this was a letdown.

I did revisit this and I hate this product. It tastes like 2% milk to me and it's just not good.

From the 12 oz can in a snifter. This solid fest pours a medium dark ruby tinged amber with
a nice head of off white foam that settles to a thick ring, thin clumping layer, and shows some
light lacing. Nose of oak, faint vanilla, toasted malts, breaded malts, and orchard fruit notes
or peach and apricot. Flavors surpass with an excellent presentation of oak, vanilla, toasted
breaded malts, caramel, apricot notes, peach, and light herbal hops for balance. Nice mouth
feel; medium body, medium light carbonation that offers nice light lift, and a lightly
dry finish.

Overall, more great stuff from a great brewery!

Cheers
