It poured an amber color with a small white head. The aroma was sweet and somewhat bready/yeasty. The flavor was mostly toasted malt and honey. An ok Oktoberfest beverage.

Yellow orange color with little ephervescents and almost no head. The aroma is quite large but typical of and Oktoberfest style with a musky cave hint. The palate is medium in weight and exhibits a beefed up lager. The flavor has a toasty grain feel that lingers on for quite some time. A decent example of an Oktoberfest beer.

Very smooth beer. Maybe too smooth. Peppery finish. Needs a bit more grain gusto. Good, but not great.

Terminus (2616) - Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA - SEP 20, 2011
pours lite orange with a small fizzy white head around the rim of the glass. pretty boring looking. nose is sweet carmel malts, medcinal traits (pills), toasted grains and a huge note of cooked soggy veggies-very bad! flavors exhibit the mineral, medicinal and cooked veggies, which is really bad. long sweet carmel finish with not much veggies but still, that initial flavor really throws you off. as the rest say, a very average to sub-par beer from such an awesome brewery. seems suprising. regardless im glad i only bought one bottle thats all i will ever need!

LilBeerDoctor (2609) - East Setauket, New York, USA - SEP 20, 2011
On tap in Cincinnati. Pours a clear orange with a thick white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, bready malt. Flavor is fairly plain, lots of grainy and bready malts, not too sweet. Superbly drinkable. Nice oktoberfest, and thankfully, less sweet than most. 7/4/7/4/14 [3.6/5]

pours a rich and dark orange color with a head that disappears kinda quickly. Much more german in style with the notes on the nose. Lots of malts, grains, and crackers along with some spice tones and a touch of hops Fuller bodied with a very good spice and grain finish. This wasn’t a domestic oktoberfest trying to masquerade as an oktoberfest or trying to put its own spin on it. Takes the style and runs with it very well

douglas88 (3672) - Salt Lake City, Utah, USA - SEP 17, 2011
Bottle. Pours a clear copper color with a medium creamy white head. A crisp malty nose. A very clean and tasty Oktoberfest: sweet grains, apples, honey. Nice.

Copper color with a big beige head. Aroma of bready malts. Light sweetness, and lightly bitter. Ok.

Chudwick (554) - Taylor Mill (KY), FRANCE - SEP 15, 2011
bottle in a pint glass - pours slightly hazy caramel/orange with thin white head and limited lacing. nose is malts but quite generic. Aromas is the same as nose with hops due to bittersweet taste. Has a nutty or oak-y aftertaste almost like a walnut. Ends dry with a medium to long finish. As far an Oktoberfest beers goes, this one stands out in character - more mature.
