Bottle. Pours a clear dark amber body with a minimal off-white head. Tbe nose is the usual macro lager with just a light hint of toasted malt, a little sulphury and laced with corn and hop extracts. The flavor isn’t a whole lot better than the regular Beck’s, same sulphury and corny taste ad the regular. Light to medium bodied with fizzy carbonation. Some lingering hop extract. Not so good this one, it’s Beck’s with a bit of food coloring I would guess.

Brown but clear, good bubbly head. Aroma has a slight bit of skunk to it. Taste has some good burnt malt flavor to it which makes it unfortunate that the skunked hops also peeks around it. Need to try this one on draft.

Better than regular Becks but not by a huge margin. It’s an Okroberfest in the states, it is what it is... ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Coffee aroma. Pours a dark, nice color. Taste is roasted malts and kind of watery. It’s not all that great or robust, but it’s pretty fair. Disappointing overall compared to what I expected. 4.8% alcohol.

Bottled. Poured cola brown with a nice initial khaki head that settled down fairly quickly. The aroma was very sweet, with chocolate, molasses, and nutty notes leading.. not greatly interesting, but no real flaws noted. The flavor found sweet molasses and a touch of maple, with light, prickly earth around.. a little sharp on the finish. Light-bodied and very sweet on the palate.. OK feel and flow.. drinkable, but that’s about it.

Great beer for anyone trying this style for the first time. I still enjoy this brew, it is more on thethin watery side, but nevertheless, and enjoyable beer for anyone.

Dark amber/cider color; Medium body; Aroma of malt, & some spice; Flavor of roasted malt, caramel, and hops; Finish is slightly bitter; Overall, decent macro dunkel.

Pour is a thin kind of dark brown with a moderate off-white head. A little roast and cocoa to the aroma, but not much, and the same goes for the taste. It’s better than a standard Beck’s, but it’s still pretty pedestrian.

Sixer from Wal-Mart. Dark pour with a small off-white head. Aroma is weak, but kinda chocolaty and roasted. Taste is metallic, skunky, and ashy.

Sehr milder Antrunk, röstig. Im Mittelteil aromatischer werdend, ebenso im Abgang. Trotz der Intensitätssteigerung wirkt das Bier etwas langweilig und vor allem austauschbar. Test vom 23.9.2008, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 10,8,9,8,-,8 - 8,36
