Beer Review - Sea Level Brewing Hoptoberfest

It is a marzen style beer and Sea Level's third wet-hopped beer coming in at 5.5% ABV. It is a nice straw color with light carbonation. The aroma is sweet and fruity but not overwhelming. It is light-bodied and in carbonation. Initially in the taste you get some bread with some citrus and a dry aftertaste. Very delicious and well balance, definitely a good one for Sea Level.
