YourDarkLord (1800) - Urbana, Illinois, USA - OCT 10, 2005
Clear amber with a fleeting off-white head. Subtle aroma of yeast, caramel, malts, a hint of alcohol. Medium bodied with gentle carbonation and a smooth feel in the mouth. The flavor was clean and crisp but nothing spectacular. Just a pleasant drink.

argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - SEP 14, 2005
(12oz bottle) Clear golden body with small off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, bread, some caramel, light pepper. Taste is medium sweet, bread, caramel, light earthy/floral/herbal. Dash of alcohol in a light-medium body. I am not a fan of the style generally, but this one wins me over with its well-rounded and balanced flavor.

1FastSTi (2990) - Glendale, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 3, 2005
Pours to a nice golden body with a huge foamy white head and excellent lacing. The aroma is very bready. Sweet malts. Kinda smells like sweet rolls. Maple syrup. The flavor is a nice tasting Okfest. Spicy sweet caramel malts, almonds, toffee. The palate is medium modied with a slick feel. Blends very nicely in this beer. Pick this one up! I’m not a huge Okfest fan, but this is really good.

Juelze (1115) - Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 15, 2005
Pours a golden color. Smells of sweet malt and straw. Tastes of sweet caramelly malt. Pretty smooth and tasty.

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - JUN 10, 2005
Light amber colour. Light bready aroma with a hint of sulphur. A gentle but crisp hoppiness, shot of alcohol and clean-if-light, well-extracted bready malt triumvirate. Well-structured, clean, simple...a fine version of the modern-day Oktoberfest style. Would that they make them this well in Munich.

Gmku (275) - Asheville, North Carolina, USA - JUN 7, 2005
More robust than Cap’s oktoberfest. Smooth and malty. Shirt and shoes are required at all times.
