MILLSTREAM OKTOBERFEST LAGER

Malt-heightened version of Millstream’s Munich-styled Schild Brau Amber places mildly creamed Vienna malting and crayon-like grouted hops inside honeyed wheat Graham Cracker theme. Caramel, butterscotch and sugar cookie illusions sidle apple-candied cherry tartness above doughy breading. Dewy peat moss dampens the main frame. Just a bit unwieldy.
