| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 7, 2007 On tap @ MadMex: Pours a hazy orange amber in color with an off white head. Aroma, caramel, some spices, and some floral notes. Flavor, caramel, brown sugar, spicy and floral hops. Good beer. unibaren (145), 8000 Århus C, Denmark
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 27, 2007 Aroma is rich malty with some caramel in it. Amber-red colour with below average carbonation. Off-white head which lasts longer then usual. The high alcohol contents reveals itself in the flavour, which is almost overpowering sweet, and the rest of the beer suffers from this. I normally associate Oktoberfest beer with regular easy-to-drink pilsner/wiener/lager type beers, but this one is for me over the top – although I will not go as far as bad. I’ll give it an extra overall point for the cool label. Boutip (2345), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 26, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Beerandblues2: Poured a medium brown color lager with a generous white foamy head with great retention and lacing. Aroma of nutty caramel malt is perfect with some subtle bitter hops. Taste is dominated by semi-sweet nutty caramel malt with some light slightly bitter hops. Body is somewhat creamy with no discernable alcohol. I really like the take on this style while avoiding going overboard and keeping some balance and complexity. beermouth (434), Langeskov, Denmark
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 22, 2007 2006... Clear amber/copperlike color with a creamy, slight tanned head. Malt, hops, orange, apple and peach. Nice fruity taste and a nice dry bitterness. Slight uninterresting. Not the worst from Avery, but not the best either! dmac (1442), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Feb 19, 2007 Poured a clear amber with a nice off white head. Aroma was a little on the weak side but wow did this have some flavor. Nice malt, hops, spice balance that left me very happy compared to the flat aroma. Very full mouthfeel felt almost like you could chew this one. Will definitely be buying this one again. zamco17 (134), Corpus Christi, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 16, 2007 2006-pours a thick burnt orange, nice head on it too. smells great, hops, and malt. taste is so good, like an ipa and marzen beer mixed together. those are my two favorite types so this is a winner for me/ decaturstevo (1980), decatur, Tennessee, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 16, 2007 A copper amber pour with a gooy lacing. An aroma of sweet malt and not hops a very sweet aroma. A flavor of sweet rich malt and alcohol. The malt handles the alcohol well. A palate that is just a tad fizzy but the malt makes it rich and creamy. A very good beer that the carbonation keeps it from being a better beer but not bad at all. nick76 (2646), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 15, 2007 The aroma is incredibly sweet and malty with a hefty dose of citrus hops. The appearance is amber with a foamy two finger head. The flavor is simple but very good. It’s very malty and doughy while having lots of spicy hops to balance. The palate is really what makes this beer so nice. It is chewy compared to all Oktoberfest beers I have had. The finish is hoppy and sweet just like the first sip with no paper or cardboard taste. Leave it to Avery to make probably the best Oktoberfest.
