Pours a light copper color with a white head Aroma is tons of caramel and malt. Then finishes with some nice peppery hops. Flavor is big on the malt and caramel. With nice peppery hop finish to help balance it out.

Im fairly sure i had this and not the oktoberfest, as the bottle just said FEST on it. Pretty typical, clean o fest brew, not bad. Decent hop bite for marzen as well. not bad.

This is easily my favorite beer. The flavor gets better as you drink more. Very smooth, malt, caramel and not too thick. I love it and can’t wait for it to come back!

Not a huge fan of Oktoberfest style but it wasn’t bad. This beer was really hyped up to me and I am failing to see why. Pretty run of the mill and definately nothing special. Pretty good just didn’t live up to what I heard about it.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tasted 10/10/07. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a golden hue. Noisy effervescence. Slight ring of white head. Acceptable bready caramel nose. Light to medium bodied with overt effervescence. Caramel malts and tingling acidic citrus hops. Off dry and mildly sticky. Slight fruity flavor. Slight bitterness. Too hoppy. Only a moderate attempt. Touch watery. Ever so slight apple note. Meh...

Bottle, courtesy Bockyhorsey. Poured an amber color, very generous initial head with solid retention, nice lacing. The aroma was grassy hops and some caramel. Flavor was grassy hops over top of caramel and pilsner-like qualities, bread and honey. An added spiciness, yet the grassy hops reappear in the aftertaste (Saaz?) and keep this from being anything vienna-like. Not my preferred take on a marzen, yet for what it was, quite nice. Mouthfeel was malty / carbonated. Thanks, Bill and Wendy!
