I'm not a big fan of this style, but my wife still says this is the best one of brewed yet! Malty, but not the body is not heavy. Hops are barely noticeable. Probably the closest I'll come to enjoying Oktoberfest. Taste like a toned down Sam Adam's Oktoberfest. Or as my wife says, "It tastes like fall."
