Saranac's Octoberfest poured a dark copper color with a two fingered width, off white head. The nose
is pleasant, and well balanced with malt up front and distinct hop aromas underneath. There is a faint trace of
spices as well. The body has a smooth malt flavor, with crisp hops underneath, and a spicy characteristic.
The finish was pleasant, with mild hops and a mild bitterness. There was some lacing left on the glass. Overall,
this is a really good beer. It is fairly complex for the style but blends well together and very well balanced.
The finish is nice, and there is a distinctic difference from the body which was nice. This is a great seasonal beer
that is perfect for a typical Fall day.
