Bottle To Pint Glass. Carmelly aroma, Amber in color. Taste has a moderate hoppy flavor but nothing overboard. Not the best beer in the world but I would win again.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 BBB63 (4939) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - JAN 3, 2010
New Year day beer: Amber with a small head and spotty lace. The aroma has notes of crystal and toasty malts, a tad soapy and plastic like esters, mineral water, stale hops and an overall grainy and corny vapour. The taste is bready malts, a slight lactic twang, mild bitterness and burnt wheat bread dryness. The mouth feel is soft and chalky. Ack, standard Marzen blandness but did get a little better as it warmed.

2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 Stellaaaa (213) - Tennessee, USA - DEC 18, 2009
Pours a clear amber with a thick white head. It has an aroma of somewhat subdued grassy hops. It tastes of lightly roasted malt and grassy hops. It has a slightly thin mouthfeel. Overall, this is a fairly light offering without much to offer, but it’s definitely better than a macro-lager.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 BrewingFan (251) - Texas, USA - NOV 22, 2009
Aroma of caramel and toffee, deep amber with a decent head. Moderately carbonated, yet deep malt backbone. I don’t see the strong hop character Abita claims, but it is good. I always lean a little right on Oktoberfests. Not a must have, but it ain’t bad.
