Pale amber with a thin white head. Aroma had caramel, sweet malts and grain. Taste was coppery, that’s it. Some caramel and currant were there but very little. Palate was slightly thicker then water. This was weak.

Oct 6, 2008 Botle labeled Oktoberfest. Spicy noble hop aroma over light caramel malt. Clear light orange amber with small white head. Somewhat malty flavor with spicy noble hop flavor. Somewhat more of a malty pils.

Sep 14, 2008 Bottle labeled as Allgauer Oktoberfest. Golden pour with a tall foamy white head. Nose is malt, grains, bread, soft honey, lemon, grass and creamed corn. Taste is bready malts, light yeast, soft lemon, honey, grassy hops and toast. Body is light-medium with a strong carbonation but not quite to fizzy status. Finishes with more creamed corn, semi-sweet malts, grassy hops, yeast, light lemon and toast. Not too bad.

Aug 27, 2008 500 mL bottle from Wine Warehouse under the Allgauer Oktoberfest label. Kind of a sickly looking golden amber pour with a minimal head. Very corny aroma with some grassy notes. Very bitter grassy taste with some caramel sweetness poking through. Very effervescent, medium bodied.

Mar 3, 2008 Bottle: Amber color, light head and lacing. Nose of faint malty grains and some light lagery esters like a russian malt liquor might possess. The flavor has a nice mouthfeel with some full caripils notes and some munichy type malts. Overall it feels a bit adjuncted and maybe a bit too sweet.

Oct 20, 2007 Boring golden color with a medium white head. Skunky, grass, yeast, malts, and corn. Medium body. Flavor of grass, yeast, malts, and herbal. Mild bitter finish. I’ll avoid this one from now on.
