Great Lakes Oktoberfest Review

With the leaves changing I can’t help but keep with the Oktoberfest theme.  I thought I’d share some notes on a new Oktoberfest I recently tried:  Great Lakes Oktoberfest.  This one is definitely one of my favorites and worth every penny!

This fest pours a brilliant copper color with moderate white head, just like the picture from their website!  The aroma is moderately malty, spicy, biscuity, grainy, and a bit sweet.  The flavor is highly malty; biscuit and bread-like, spicy malt and a spicy, earthy low but noticeable hop flavor.  The finish is exceptionally smooth and pleasantly dry.  Carbonation moderate-low and body is full.  Overall an exceptionally smooth, flavorful beer.  A great example of the style.
