Harpoon Octoberfest: 24

Taste: 8 Finish: 8 Visual: 5 Aroma: 3
Total: 24

It has a perfect amber color with a very full and creamy head. The aroma is sweet but faint.

There is the typical sweet malt upfront. Nothing too strong. That washes over the tongue and then a nice amount of bitter hops kicks in the back. So, it has a great balance. The finish is a bit dry and clean and dissipates quickly.

It's missing a bit of that standard Octoberfest flavor. But it's still a solid brew. Very drinkable with just the right amount of sweet and bitterness to it.
