Handwritten notes: Oh, is that a long "O"? A malt and stinging alcohol beer. Despite that this beers fronts as an Oktoberfest, Beer Advocate calls it an Altbier. Which, I guess is different that an Sopranbier or Tenbier. This beer tastes like a sour old beer that's past its prime, but that sounds worse than it is. It is actually quite good. Do I taste pretzels? A baked bready-goodness abounds. I often make ho-made soft pretzels and this beer would be a beautiful accompaniment.
