Overall Impression
Dark yellow opaque, good head, high carbonation. Sweet-candy aroma...like some Bocks. Vaguely reminds me of Spaten Oktoberfest in flavor, but not as heavy. More grainy-malt flavor. OK bitter finish. "Handcraft Brewed - Fresh Malted Barley and Golden Hops." (Golden hops...?) $5.59 per 22-oz bottle!
