Tap at the Rebel House. Copper coloured pour with a tight and sticky head. The aroma is appropriately malty with lots of Munich malt toastiness. Light noble hops along with a touch of fresh bread crust. Good balance although it’s initially quite carbonic tasting. Better than the ratings would suggest. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

C'est What Festival of Small Breweries 2002. An enjoyable but sort of bland brew, could have used a bit more malt. I have found the other Octoberfests I have tried a bit unexciting as well though.

A very confused beer. Not enough malt (these guys really have trouble with the whole mashing thing), an excess of crystal malt and just no sense of what it wants to be when it grows up.
