I found this beer by sheer accident. I went to the local convenient store to pick up some snacks for the coming evening, and checking out the beer section (as I always do) I noticed one I’ve never seen before, and it was from Germany.  So I had to get it. Now armed with a new beer and a bag of pretzels, I headed for the porch.

The package looked festive enough so it couldn’t be too bad. The bottles were as colorful as any beer bottle I’ve ever seen, I was excited about trying this one, so I got my mug and my note pad and poured away. The first thing I noticed was the color, very cloudy and almost a peach color. You could really tell this was a wheat brew. The head was a little off white and thick. So far, so good. The aroma was somewhat mild for an Oktoberfest. Next was the long anticipated taste. This is where I started to get a little disappointed. It was very creamy and had almost no aftertaste. Just another mild wheat beer that bores the palate with a lack of hops.

I don’t like giving bad reviews, but to be honest, this beer looks better than it tastes. It may be a good autumn beer for someone who doesn’t like the stronger flavor of the typical Oktoberfest beers. It packs a healthy 5.7 ABV but for $9.49 a six pack they can keep it in Germany.
