Comments:  This is not what you would expect of an Octoberfest beer. This is an Oktoberfest Hefeweisen.  Pours a cloudy golden yellow color with a fluffy white 2 finger head.  Swirl the bottle and grab the sediment from the bottom.  Aroma is spice, clove and banana.  A little more caramel wheat taste and less banana & spice compared to the Erdinger Hefeweisen.  Definitely a switch from the normal Märzen style Oktoberfest bier.
