Draft pour pint at Frankies pizza. Pours an oily golden color with a patchy head and lace. This comes off as an Oktoberfest beer, rather than an amber. Smooth, slightly rich flavor, and quite refreshing. Light, but quite drinkable. Good beer.

Bottle.
Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting
Body is medium amber.
Aroma is lightly malty (caramel, toasted grain), lightly hoppy (flowers), moderately yeasty (dough, sweat), with notes of celery, toffee.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately bitter, unclean.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Not much in the aroma thats enticing...very raw-yeasty and some sour vegetal character as well, which reappears in the mouth. Very difficult to drink.

22 ounce bottle no date from the brewpub, waiting for the ferry (back in October). Pours it clear orange yellow with a small creamy off white head with fair retention. slightly metallic aroma with a bit of tanginess. Pale malt. Flavor follows with the (I can only imagine unintentional) sour tang that leads to the slightly malty finish. Minimal bitterness. Dry finish. Light carbonation with a light to medium body. OK.
