3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 heemer77 (4754) - Urbandale, Iowa, USA - MAY 28, 2004
Pours from the bottle with a light orange and red color. A little bit of lacing and very little head. Smells of oak, maple and a little urine cake. Tastes like toffee, chocolate and is fairly sweet. An enjoyable brew for warm weather.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20 PhillyBeer2112 (2328) - Oviedo, Florida, USA - MAY 24, 2004
Paler type of fest, orangey amber. Medium head. Toffeeish and melanoidins mildly present. Sweetish and toffeeish but with a somewhat empty and almost watery finish. Hops add balance but no flavors. Fairly boring.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - MAY 22, 2004
Lightly hazy orange/bronze color with very light head & carbonation. The aroma is nicely malty with some fresh hops & citrusy caramel. The flavor is lightly sweet with light hop bitterness & some malts & nutty cutrus flavors. Finishes balanced & herbal. Good! Thanks Falconseye!
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 Sham (1846) - Seattle, Washington, USA - MAY 22, 2004
Cloudy amber pour with a thin film of white head and sparse lacing. Heavy malts in the nose along with some spice. Earthy hops. Flavors go from a sweet caramel malt up front to a sharply bitter finish at the end. Spices dash around through out the beer. Tangy palate.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 HopsOrDie (687) - New Lenox, Illinois, USA - MAY 12, 2004
Dark golden color. Big malty aroma. This beer comes off very heavy, not very summer like. Malty flavor profile with very little bitterness.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 LoveCaissa (873) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAR 27, 2004
Deep golden to light amber colour. Lovely pleasant maltiness delicately balanced by a mild hoppiness. The sweetness also has a fine strawberry like fruitiness than I (but noone else) sometimes find in very good malty beers. Extremely pleasant and a great example of the style but perhaps not complex enough for a real top rating (4+).
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 badgerben (4092) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - FEB 28, 2004
Hazy, golden color with a lasting white head. Medium carbonation. Malty taste with touches of yeast and lemon. Quite a different Oktoberfest, I almost thought of it as an attempt at a Belgian! Very nice brew.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 mutant (854) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JAN 6, 2004
Dark bronze colour, big sweet, malty aroma. Slightly roasted malt flavour which turns sweet, then ends with only slight bitterness. Thick as well. I love malty beers so it works really well for me. Thanks Slikwily
