Tasting notes
- Nose: Bready Munich malt with subtle caramel and floral noble hops, evoking fresh pretzels and autumn leaves.
- Palate: Toasty biscuit and honeyed sweetness up front, balanced by crisp herbal bitterness; medium body with smooth carbonation. Bold malts dominate, yielding to restrained spice.
- Finish: Clean and dry, with lingering malt warmth and a touch of hop attenuation.
Notable details

- Lineage: Part of Liquid Riot's exploration of Bavarian styles amid their barrel-aged specialties.
- Comparison: Aligns with Paulaner Oktoberfestbier in malt focus, but with Maine craft precision.
- Availability: Limited seasonal release, typical of brewery's rotating Festbier lineup.
Serving suggestions
