Oktoberfest
Divine Barrel Brewing

A: Pours a crystal clear medium to dark deep reddish amber in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and moderate honey + copper + garnet red + brassy colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy tan head that slowly reduces to a handful of small to medium sized patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of very slightly mottled very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of toasted + bready + caramel + biscuit malts with light to moderate amounts of honey-like + caramel sweetness. Light to moderate aromas of lager yeast. Finally there are light aromas of spicy + herbal + earthy hops.

T: Upfront there are slightly stronger than moderate flavors of toasted + bready + caramel + biscuit malts with light to moderate amounts of honey-like + caramel sweetness. That is followed by light to moderate flavors of lager yeast. Finally there are light flavors of spicy + herbal + earthy hops which impart a light to moderate amount of bitterness which slowly fades away leaving a relatively clean finish.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Fairly smooth with a relatively clean finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly smooth mouthfeel. Very enjoyable with a nice amount of malt complexity with that distinctive lager yeast presence and just enough hoppy bitterness to balance it out.
