This beer pours a beautiful brilliantly clear deep gold - almost light amber with the orangish tint that is typical of a Marzen. A medium head of tiny ivory-colored white bubbles fades slowly leaving a little Belgian lace. The initial aroma is bready with moderate toasty notes and just a bit of bread crusts with no hops and a very clean lager character. Toasty and bready characterize the flavor, again with a bit of bread crust, and just a little floral hop notes and just enough bitterness to offset the toasty malt. Very clean lagered flavor that showcases the toast with a medium body and moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel is refined, creamy, and smooth, with a crisp finish. This is a very tasty beer that begs for bratwurst with mustard and sauerkraut, and had enough breadiness that you can hold the bun.

Payette Oktoberfest
Description
Here's our take on the classic Märzen Style Lager, for the original festival that celebrates beer - with beer. Our Oktoberfest goes well with sauerkraut, brauts and a pair of lederhosen. It has a rich body, smooth flavor and notes of sweet caramel malt that are like polka music to your mouth. So raise a glass with us and give a hearty, "Prost!"
