Not quite ‘resilient’ gluten-free fonio graining offers only the slightest nutty minerality to its perfumy lemon-peeled yellow grapefruit zesting and floral-daubed sweet orange peel tanginess. Pasty maltiness lingers.

JACK’S ABBY MUNICH FESTBIER
Smoother and creamier than lesser Munich-styled autumnal celebrators. Sweetish barleycorn crisping, leafy hop herbage and wispy honeyed nuttiness reach peaty rye (whiskey) base.
AXEMANN OKTOBERFEST
Sweetly soured red-orange-fruited pungency murkily sweeps thru leafy hop oiling and mild gourd earthiness ransacking slight Vienna malt caramelization.
CATSKILL BARKA BOOM OKTOBERFEST LAGER
Brown leafed herbal hop musk seeps into fungi must alongside navel orange mist above pasty malts. Just a tad richer, creamier and better than most Oktoberfests.
BELL’S OCTOBERFEST MARZEN
Marginal off-dry marzen with brown leafy hop astringency and earthen gourd musk given swift orange spicing over gluey Vienna malts.
TROEGS OKTOBERFEST LAGER
‘Toasty, crisp, festive’ marzen with basic off-dry setting. Dewy mossing, orange-oiled foliage and delicate Hallertau hop florality combine above laidback Vienna-malted molasses breading.
VON TRAPP POLOTMAVY LAGER
Dry limited edition Czech-styled amber lager given mellow spruce tips minting as mild lemon-licked herbage and brown leafy residue waver atop placid caramelized Vienna malting.
ROSKO’S LA MADAME
Soft-toned French farmhouse-styled biere de garde (limited edition ’25) lets caramelized amber graining setup biscuity Graham Cracker base as mossy grape-stemmed earthiness dampens plummy apricot dryness, rummy butterscotch twist and wispy almondine wining given single malt Scotch smoothing (and possible English leather musk).
AXEMANN BERLINER VICE
Sourly salted lemon surge gains sweaty cheesecloth musk as dry Chablis wining, vinous green grape esters and mellow white grape sweetness underscored by unmalted wheat starching.
AXEMANN CERRO PILS
Simple light-bodied clear yellowed bohemian Czech pilsner merges brusque peppery hop herbage with floral-daubed cereal graining. Serve to middle American blue collar plain folks.
AXEMANN 1855
Gluten-free Vienna-styled lager ain’t bad just tedious. Cereal-grained amber graining splotches musty apple, orange and pear spicing and pallid dry hop musk in slick setting.
AXEMANN MEXICAN STYLE LAGER
Mild lemon lime fizz spritzes peppery hops and musky grains of crisply corn-flaked clear golden Mexican lightweight with a slight Scotch splotch.
