Sly Fox Oktoberfest
Closing out the Sly Fox sextet, sent by Woody Chandler. I asked for them, that's for sure, and the verdict is, ...eh. Not so hot.
Here are my thoughts on the Oktoberfest, last of them all.
"Oktoberfest beers celebrate the looniest wedding reception and beer party ever. It started in 1810 and it;s still going strong! All that history, all that fun in this one little can. How can you resist? OG 13.8 Plato, 25 IBU, Abv 5.8%"
Clear, amber hue, prodigious formulation (my new word, trademark and copyright reserved.)
Aroma: slightly sweet and grainy, floral and malt, too. Nice.
Taste: Clean, smooth, nicely malty. Fairly innocuous. Drinkable for sure. Perfectly passable in every way, except in reaching or exceeding expectations. Tasty, but lacking. Light bodied, with a swiftly disappearing finish. Flavor quits with a quickness.
I'm liking this a bit better as it gets closer to the end, but no drastic improvement in the overall impression.
