Moose Lake Oktoberfest

 Moose Lake Oktoberfest. 

6% ABV, 29 IBU, Moose Lake Brewing, Moose Lake, Minnesota. 

Clear, copper-colored, slim off-white head.

In the nose: toasty malt, noble hops, slightly sweet. 

In the mouth: sweetness hits the palate first, but well in balance, caramel notes abound. Medium bodied, long, sweet, malty finish. Full of a kind of character you don’t get in a drier märzens.

And I kind of like it.
