Great Lakes Oktoberfest
12 oz bottle with freshness enjoy by date: 10/16/07 Poured a bright, clear amber with minimal head and lace. The second bottle poured produced a sustained two inch off-white head. Bread like spicy aromas. Initial taste of sweet malt with a very slight syrup taste, but not cloying; you can really taste the toasty malt. Hops are evident in background. The beer actually becomes more balanced as it warms. While this is not my favorite lager style, this is one of the most drinkable available. No overwhelming sweet malt often found with this style. Another quality brew from Great Lakes.
