Oktoberfest
Steeplejack Brewing Company

16oz can from Newport Avenue Market. Foggy amber pour, thin cream colored head. Malty aroma, caramel, mash. Taste is bready, bran flakes, cereal, mild dryness and a dull bitterness.

 

Look: Amber in color and my pour initiates a luscious-looking beige head that pillows up, slowly settling to reveal great lacing left clinging to the glass
Aroma: Freshly baked bread, raw dough, toasted crust, light floral hop notes, some toffee, and light nutty notes
Taste: Follows the nose well but more pronounced. Kicks off with some nice, fragrant floral hops before the bread assault begins – warm bread, dough, and toasted bread all in the mix. Toffee and nutty notes peruse around throughout and closes with more floral hops
Mouthfeel: Full, smooth, clean, medium-high carbonation, and clean and lightly soft on the finish
Overall: This is some tasty stuff. Vienna Lagers are a sucker style for me and although I was confused on the label as to whether it was a Vienna or an Oktoberfest, I figured I would win either way. A nice combo of bready malt and floral hops throughout and checks all the style boxes for me and glad I grabbed a 4pk

Pint at F/stop Fitzgerald in Salem Oregon.
$5.00 Mug club price.
Pours a gorgeous chestnut brown colour. Clear. Nice frothy tan head.
Nice clean malty aroma. Slight grassy hops.
Taste malty but not sweet. Semi dry even
Good clean non sticky mouth feel.
Overall a delicious beer
Likely more a Vienna.,

Handsome orange amber brew with enthusiastic foam in the tall goblet. Aromatic with roasted grain, bead, and a lively green hop nose. Slushy and prickly on the tongue. Malty body with some sweetness to start. This is hoppier than most Oktoberfest brews with a modest bitterness but a distinct hoppy and herbal aftertaste. You could call it a Marzen but the ingredients and the "Vienna Style" descriptor seem to indicate it's a Vienna Lager. This is another pleasant malty lager with a worthy kiss of hops.
