Damp aromatic foliage and leafy-hopped earthen nuttiness provide autumnal array for middling dry body. Complacent Vienna-malted cereal grain toasting, latent metallic shard and acrid phenol spicing lower appeal.

Indistinct moderate-bodied copper-toned marzen places thin maibock-like fruited souring next to soapy hop astringency. Blanched orange-tangerine-cherry tartness deadens upon impact and phenol-spiced autumnal foliage lacks resolve. Biscuit-y bottom cracks.

Upgraded 10^th anniversary version of ruddy copper autumnal from 2011 stays mild, underscoring caramelized crystal malting and grassy-hopped astringency with wispy gourd spicing. Indifferent orange, apricot and apple fruiting lost alongside fragile oats-toasted breading.

Blandly mild marzen-styled autumn seasonal (not far removed from brewer’s lambasted Toasted Lager) spreads soapy diacetyl buttering atop dry herbal-hopped citrus snip and brown-sugared toffee restraint. Tranquil leafy foliage and bread-crumbed biscuit nuance lost in the shuffle.

Indistinct 2011 autumnal offering (with copper-cleared hue) fatigued by overriding phenol astringency and buttery diacetyl waver. Pumpkin-seeded gourd spicing and musty orange-dried coarsening lost amidst leafy foliage. Toasted honey nut spine and sweet chestnut egress need better resilience.

Outstandingly balanced 2011 version of autumnal Vienna-styled amber lager brings bright red-fruited spicing, dewy peat graining, and leafy red-brown-yellow foliage to biscuit-y honeyed wheat spine. Dainty cinnamon-gingerbread nicety augments juicy red grape, red apple, and red cherry fruiting. Its multitudinous flavor profile gets perfectly integrated, showing no seams. An amiable, first rate Oktoberfest crossing all boundaries.

Gruff wet-hopped autumnal ale stylistically approaches proper English Extra Bitter. Leafy hop resin drips into burnt-toasted mineral-grained rye-dried earthen fungi. Sugary cocoa sweetness, tea-like bittering and slack citric pinch lost in sea of dank-watered swill.

Nifty cocaine-sniffing moniker aside, autumnal amber-hued marzen-styled medium-bodied lager really rocks. Barley-hopped cereal-grained entry unfurls citric brown-sugared dark spicing to eye-squinting citric-soured hard-candied tartness. Caramel-malted black cherry sweetening ascends above almond-toasted pecan-pied sugared wheat spine.

Rich tan-headed golden fall fodder (circa 1999) with aromatic yeast sweetness, creamy caramel malt variance, floral citric waver, and watery texture lacks pizzazz when soft grain finish fades too quickly. Yet pleasant cider notes linger in the midst.

Though a tad watery and soft-bodied for German festival ale, brown-bodied jubilation will overjoy brown ale and mild porter lovers with its smoked meat opening, coffee-dried walnut-cola-Brazil nut roast, and ashen chocolate-seeded vanilla bean confluence. Overall creaminess lacks, but softer palates may not care.

Distantly pumpkin-wafted marzen-styled autumnal medium body (from ’07) brings caramelized sourdough, baked bread and dried wheat mildness to arid clay-hopped apricot-pear spell. But metallic acerbity belies bland cinnamon raisin tease and unctuously astringent nutty vanilla lull.
