Dec 22, 2009 On tap (2009) in a pint glass. A bit hoppy and mildly malty with that familiar Bully taste hovering in the background. If I hadn’t known, I wouldn’t have even guessed this was an Oktoberfest/German lager, but it certainly wasn’t bad.

Dec 18, 2009 Bottle. Spicy malty nose, a little grass and light celery. Little or no head on an earthy dark orange body. Sticky, spicy, malt-forward taste, somewhat dry with earthy overtones toward the fore, lesser nutty swashes in the middle. Medium-fullish body, and there are some character grains that attempt to salvage - a little wheat here goes a long way.

Dec 16, 2009 Short 12oz twist-off bottle. Deep amber color, white head. Aroma of toasted malts. A touch of bread, some fruit, light cedar. Rich malted flavor. Nice caramel malt, a good bit of woodiness. Very well balanced between the malt and the hop. Dry, with a touch of dark fruit, nice bitterness, and a touch of pepper. This is a very good Oktoberfest beer.

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a brilliant, clear, amber body. 1 inch, foamy white head. Aroma is of rich caramel malt, bread crust and a touch of some dark fruit. Something a bit off...slightly musty. Toast and caramel in the flavor with some cereal. Light-medium body, malt forward with a moderately bitter finish. Smooth and sessionable. An all around tasty beer.

Dec 1, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a golden brown with a very small white head. Aroma is mostly caramel malts with some fig and a mild toasted bread with just a bit of over-toasting. Flavor is very malty with some slight bitterness all through the finish. Some butter and a tiny spiciness but very malt forward and toasty bready. Medium body and an average carbonation. A decent Oktoberfest, providing the basic components of the style without really shining.
