Notes:

Tasted just what I think of for an Octoberfest. The beer flowing through the siphon tube looked really clear. The beer in cylinder to take gravity reading looked cloudy but I believe some sediment got in it.

Notes:

A lighter bodied version then other Octoberfest I've had. Not bad for being my first lager. Can't wait until it's conditioned.
