3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Copper color. Crystal clear. Nice malty aroma with a touch of fruitiness. Slightly sweet flavor with a touch of underlying bitterness. Fairly clean. Quite nice.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Slightly darker amber color. Aroma is toast, bread, grass, caramel. Medium to light body, quite drinkable. Lacks the finesse of some better ones out there.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Deep copper body with an off-white head. Spicy caramel aroma. The flavour is grainy and sweet with lots of caramel, and the body is fairly well-balance. Decent, but I’ve decided that oktoberfests are not for me.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft. Rich caramel color with an off-white head. Caramel, earth, and spice aroma. Buttery, caramel, earth, spice flavor. Medium body. LIngering caramel and butter.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A big malty beer here. Strong caramel aroma and taste. I appreciate the bold flavor and aroma. Something about it just doesn’t blend well though. Needs to be smoother and rounded out more.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Red amber ale with a light white head. Light sweet caramel malt with fruity esters. Sweet malt in mouth, with some vanilla notes and nutty. Medium bodied. On tap at BP, August 2005.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at the San Francisco "Brews on the Bay" Festival. Light copper appearance, nice white head and lacing. Slighlty citrusy aroma. Faint trace of caramel, some vegetable notes, but more like an everyday amber than an Oktoberfest.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
tried this little beer at the beach chalet, a beautiful place to have brunch while in SF. amber hue with soft marmalade head. hints of orange, raisins, vanilla and maybe even theat darn bee thing honey. big moltiness up front, with the citrus underneath with unique hop flaver, good but a little off for the style IMO.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tap. A medium golden color with a tan head. Malty with a slightly aromatic nose but otherwise like a marzen.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bitter, effervescent and sharp edged, this is a balanced but without aroma and seasoned flavor.
