Foothills Oktoberfest


Foothills Oktoberfest Lager, Foothills Brewing, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. 6.3% ABV., 29 IBU. SRM 13.3

Deep amber/copper color, nice, creamy head, long lasting.

 Earthy/ herbal aromatics, good and malty. Good balance, low hops, not too sweet. Now, lets' put it to the lips…

Taste: more of that, on the palate. The earth, the herb, tasty malt, rich and warming. Stays long on the tongue, hangs hard in the back. Rolls out smooth and easy. Little bit of fruit peeks out in the flavor, a touch of ripe berries. 

Mmm. I like this one. Good stuff. 

Here's what they say on the label: "A German-style amber lager. Dark amber to light brown in color. Sweet caramel and toffee sweetness up front with notes of toasted bread and hints of roasted cashews and almonds."

Cashews? That's a new one for me. But I didn't feel the toffee, either.
