Jack's Abby Copper Legend Festbier

Jack's Abby Copper Legend Octoberfest. Prost!

5.7 % ABV, 20 IBU. Jack's Abby Craft Lagers, Framingham, MA. 

Another first, my first from this Massachusetts brewery, and again it's thanks to Dave. Thanks, Dave!

Clear, amber-hued, lush, full head of foam. 

In the nose: Malty, herbal, semi-sweet, classic noble hops. 

In the mouth: Smooth, bright, malty. Says "festbier" on the label and getting that now, though I wasn't sure at first, color wasn't as golden as that style requires. Would it again be another case of a marzen being called a Festbier? No, this tastes more like Festbier, light bodied, easy drinking, crisp and cool. 

The Can, the Myth, the Legend. Celebrate Octoberfest with this malty, smooth, and exceedingly drinkable lager. Prost!
