Taste is of butterscotch and maple in the front, graham cracker in the middle going into a booze and hop finish with tea and chocolate, orangey, apricoty and cherry fruit after notes. Dense heavy and chewy mouthfeel. Drinkability is average however.

Thanks Chris

Appears a dark amber with a small, off-white head that quickly fades out into a mild cap. Scattered lacing is left around the glass.
Smell is of a malty, doughy, yeasty, citrus blasted hop treat.
Taste is of the doughy, biscuity, mildly spiced, citrus aromas that seem to come together for an unusually hopped up Oktoberfest.
Mouthfeel is smooth, mildly spicy and citrusy on the finish but overall very clean and smooth.

On tap pours with a hazy ochre topped with a pillowy ivory cap.

Light scents of hard candy, even after the cool temp warms to a palpable aroma.

First swigs: Red apple with some spice cake and doughy flavor. Slightly tartness along the lines of Tang mix. A tad bit of Jolly Rancher creeps in towards the finish. Moderately bitter with a pine wood underline.

Last swigs: Lemon heads candy German.

A pretty good brew here. Nice mutation on the o-fest premise. I would like to see it year round, but I know it will never happen

pours a nice deep amber color. bone colored head. nice, deep grassy nose.

taste is great. somewhat malty at 1st. followed bya great citrus flavor. very deep, and intesne. not overpowering - but it is there and makes itself known. a nice peppery finish

a nie drinkable brew. interesting alternative to normal o-fests, definate a good brew
