Spaten Optimator from Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu
Rating: B+
First beer I've had at Hogan's in Gainesville - I'd never realized there was another beer bar aside from Stubbie's.
Appearance: Dark, but light comes through with a distinctly red hue. Decent head and retention but little lacing.
Smell: Malt and dark fruit predominate the aroma.
Taste: Nice and malty. On the sweeter side, but not cloying. Good bit of dark fruit for a lager, Cocoa at the finish. Wouldn't have guessed this was 7.2% at all. Little in the way of hops.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, well-carbonated.
Drinkability: No complaints here.
Serving type: bottle
