Rocktoberfest
Short's Brewing Company

Brief Review:

O: Not Short's first Oktoberfest offering, that would be Noble Chaos. That's a beer I love, very malty and rich. Haven't seen it in some time, so they're back with Rocktoberfest. Looking like a Festbier style as opposed to Märzen? Not loving it. A little thin and flat, somewhat watery and bland. It's drinkable, but not their best.

Recommendation: With so many Octoberfest beers to choose from, I'd pass on this.

12oz can stamped PKG 08/25? - (IDK very blurry). Taste/feel is thin, however there is something there as it is a 5.8% beer. Semi-bitter aftertaste. Taste is very similar to Bud Light and Hamms Light with a little more body.

 

 

 

12oz can stamped PKG 08/25 (I think?) poured into a mug at fridge temp 5.8% ABV per label. The beer pours mostly bright light golden amber with off white head. The head recedes to a thin ring and single layer of bubbles. The aroma is sweet pale malt with hints of honey and pear. The taste is semisweet pale and toasted malt with a noticeable floral / earthy hop presence alongside a slightly tangy note. Mild bitterness. The feel is thin bodied with average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Overall, decent festbier. Fairly hoppy with the malt more subdued.
