From a Michelob Craft Sampler pack.
Appearance: Fairly dark amber, bordering on brown. Clear, with a nice two finger head with good retention.
Smell: Appealing toasted grains, spicy Continental hops. Clean and actually refreshing.
Taste: Lightly toasted malts, lightly bitter. Grainy finish. Aftertaste calls Budweiser to mind - same yeast, same hops, or both?
Mouthfeel: Medium body, with a nice texture and smooth carbonation.
Drinkability: Quite drinkable, perhaps more so than the heavier Sam Adams Oktoberfest. Many craft beer fans will turn their nose up at anything from A-B, but I'll be honest, this beats the Hofbrau Oktoberfest I had recently.
