Poured a nice amber with a medium sized head that left no lace. Aroma of grass and bittering hops. Taste was that of lightly rosted malts along with wome wheat and hop afterbite. A good drinking summer beer, more of a marzen rather than oktoberfest though.

With a beer this good, why produce an "Octoberfest"? Skip the Octo, get the Fest while it’s still available. Color is more of an amber, big malt, nicely balanced hops, some fruit, but just so FLAVORFUL, I’ll miss this beer until the 05 release. Another fine Capital product.

12 oz bottle...this would be from last year, so I’m guessing this has been sitting a while. It’s an ok beer....not one of the better Marzen’s in my opinion, but certainly not a bad tasting beer.

Nice thick off white foamy head.Reddish copper in color. Sweet malty, banana peel, slightly nutty flavor. Sweet aftertaste. Thick mouthfeel. I liked this very much.

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!

Tastes just like all the other Capitol beers. No hop flavor, not hop bitterness, and no beer body! Sorry, I don’t care to drink this beer at all.

Deep golden hue, nice lasting off-white head. Smell is a little over sweet, but nice fruit and caramel notes to it. Hop bitterness gives a cleanness to the caramel notes that predominate. Mouth feel is alomost chewy due to the carbonation. Solid beer.

Great summer beer. Not too sweet, not too heavy. Nice floral aromas. Good clean finish.

My favorite daily beer. Smooth and tasty with a wonderful clean afer taste. I missed it when it goes out of season.
