Maierfest Lager
The $4.29 pricetag attracted me to this Rogue bomber, as they normally run a buck or two higher. I'm thristy, so on to the beer: Leans towards a deep golden color with a finger's thick of head. Even two minutes after the pour, it still retains the thickness. Eventaully it falls thin and leaves dots of lacing. The aroma is very German, not American as I feared. Spicy hops, honey, and dough round out the aroma. Flavors are subtle, but I don't mind much. I was expecting a force of maltiness to fill my mouth, but this is lighter in intensity and easier to drink than the usual o-fest. In this case, I like it this way. Kisses of hop leaf and honey compliment the breadiness of this beer. Paired with small bubbled carbonation and a light-medium body, this is an o-fest I could drink liters of.
