Great Lakes Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest
Great Lakes Brewing Co.
Oktoberfest
6.5% ABV
OG 14.5° Plato
20 IBUs
12 oz bottle with a best by date of 11/23/10 poured into a Samuel Adams perfect pint glass on 10/19/10. The recommended serving temperature is 45°F

Appearance 4/5
Clear, but not brilliantly so, with hues of honey, orange, and gold; a decent off white head with alright retention and excellent lacing. There was some sediment at the bottom of the bottle that was avoided while pouring.

Aroma 4/5
Soft malt aroma that is sweet and toasted. No hops.

Taste 4/5
Starts slightly sweet but there is enough hop presence. Overall sweet, but not cloying, with a medium to dry finish.

Mouthfeel 4/5
Well carbonated but smooth.

Drinkability 4/5
Good, except for the high ABV.
