Rich tan-headed golden fall fodder with aromatic yeast, creamy malt variance, citric hints, and watery texture lacks pizzazz when soft grain finish fades too quickly. Yet pleasant cider notes linger in the midst.

Though a tad watery and soft-bodied for German festival ale, brown-bodied jubilation will overjoy brown ale and mild porter lovers with its smoked meat opening, coffee-dried walnut-cola-Brazil nut roast, and ashen chocolate-seeded vanilla bean confluence. Overall creaminess lacks, but softer palates may not care.

More robust than Beck’s Pilsner, annually besting Sam Adams and Pete’s Wicked Octoberfests with its cavernous toasted grain mesh, caramelized malt tether, and zesty citric spike. Random winey cider nuance wavers beneath. Beck’s trademark sour yeast pungency relegated to mere backdrop that won’t scare off amateurs.
