Great Lakes Oktoberfest Marzen-Style Lager

Idk if its me or the beer but I get a medicinal taste from this beer! Almost Ricola cough drop medicine. No, I am not sick so that's ruled out. Just not a great beer IMHO.

Maybe the beer had an infection and they sold it anyway.

I get that character from certain hops (Northern Brewer and Polaris in particular), but not necessarily super strong where it takes over the beer.

I tried this beer and it didn't have any off flavors.
