JPDIPSO (4956) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 9, 2002

Light clear amber color. Aroma is quite malty with a faint floral and cream corn background. Very malty in flavor and quite bitter for style (perhaps trying to offset all the malt sweetness). A mid echelon american otoberfest.

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20

VENOM (941) - Connecticut, USA - MAY 4, 2002

Slight chill hazed amber. Thin off white edge head. Light carbonation. Aroma of toasted malts and toffee. Solid body, candy coated apple sweetness. Light crispness and bitter burnt caramel aftertaste. Moderately hoppy. Very light oxidized flavor. Finishes malty sweet and bitterly balanced. Nice, considering how past October it is right now.

MaxPower (961) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - APR 26, 2002

Not bad for an American marzen. Not great either a little weak.

AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20

muzzlehatch (4425) - Burlington, Vermont, USA - DEC 10, 2001

This conforms to the requisite ’style’ reasonably well, but cannot be really recommended; weak and thin on the tongue, sweetish and almost insipid on the nose, with no complexity and little hop presence. A disappointment from this good brewer; try Riverwest Stein instead.

scrawfis (143) - Naperville, Illinois, USA - SEP 29, 2001

Nice traditional interpretation of the Oktoberfest style. Similar to Capital’s Autumnal Fire, but slightly lighter.
