3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Appearance: Pours a clear, copper body with a small, fine, white head.
Smell: Sweetish, toasty biscuit nose with a slight, underlying fruit character.
Taste: Toasty biscuit malts start things off, then a sugary light caramel taste enters with a Red Delicious apple fruitiness. Light floral, spicy hops and bitterness. Still, it finishes relatively sweet with a lingering yeastiness.
Mouthfeel: Just barely medium-bodied. Medium-low carbonation. Somewhat sticky mouthfeel.
Drinkability: A pleasant light beer, it would be great in great quantities.

Clear copper with a small creamy head. Aroma of caramel and slight corn. Flavor is similar with a light grain and apple touch. Light-medium body is tingly and dryish.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This is what I call a big and tall beer. Large aromas of dark fruits, and a flavor that grabs you and will not let you go. Very malty with lots of earthy wood notes, slight hop bitterness in the finish, very drinkable.

4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours a dark honey-golden with a nice thick head. Aroma is quite strong and all malty. Flavor is rich and malty with a strong hint of spices. This ale is very smooth and pleasant, and the aftertaste is jazzy with a hint of hops.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: OCT 29, 2007 Pours golden amber with a thin, mostly receding off-white head. Aroma of bread dough, crackery malts, and light caramel sweetness. Tastes of crisp toasted malt balanced, lightly sweetened crackers. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, with the perfect balance between sweet and dry. Moderate carbonation. As American brewers go, 5 Seasons has pretty much nailed the German session lagers.

Amber, big off-white head, toasted malt aroma, slightly sweet malt flavor, essence of carmel and biscuit malts, the biscuit comes through strong as it warms and the sweetness subsides, best octoberfest yet out of this brewery
