Widmer Brothers Okto Festival Ale

Not technically an Oktobefest, but similar to one. Widmer Brothers actually classifies it as an Altbier.

The color of a shiny new penny, with a minimal head. Apparently filtered, you could read the proverbial newspaper through it. Lots of sweetness, with a strong caramel taste. The hops are there, but don't hit you until the back end. Not a bad brew, but kind of disingenuous to suggest that it's an Oktoberfest.
