What Our Editors Thought
“Minimal nose with vague toasty notes. Pointed bitterness with a touch of extra acidity that brings out citrus notes in the hops.”
What Our Panel Thought
“The aroma of bread crusts, Concord grapes, and tarragon is so delicate that it’s almost undetectable. Sweet bread and fresh dough in the flavor; well-balanced with a lingering hop bitterness. It seems too pale to be a märzen, yet too gold to be a festbier. So, enjoy it as an Oktoberfest in-betweener.”
What the Brewers Say
“A full-flavored and well-balanced lager.”
