Spaten-Franziskaner-Brau's Oktoberfest

Kinda old, I guess, to be had in August, but let's see how it does anyway.

Pours a clear copper with strong carbonation and a small-celled tan head that stays. Looks almost like a bock, but a bit shy of it.

Smells malty, and a bit spicy. Very slightly peppery. Almost a bit of pilsner in it.

Tastes follows the smell closely, but more of the pils funk than before. Very clean, yet lots of malt. Light hops, almost like the bitterness comes from the malt more than anything.

Good beer. Probably my favorite Spaten.
