This traditional German lager is crisp and refreshing! Caramel and biscuit malt notes are balanced with a slight, but firm hop presence.

Clear amber body with a beige cap. Gooey caramel, toast, a whisper of grain, brown bready yeast, and a finishing earthy hop kiss in both smell and taste. Malty and smooth up front, yeast dance atop it, but the finish does thin out a tad. Still, a smooth and crisp oktoberfest

Sampled in a small snifter from draft at Half Day Brewing Co. on October 15, 2019. This traditional German lager is crisp and refreshing. Caramel and biscuit malt notes are balanced with a slight but firm hop presence.

One of the smoothest Octoberfest brews I've tried in this side of the world. Had that right off the tap in the brewery with buddies from work and everyone liked it.
