2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle - Pours clear amber with a cream-colored frothy head. Nose is malty and a bit sour, but muted. Definitely not a malt bomb. Taste is a bit of malt and sweetness like syrup or honey. There’s a hint of hops on the finish, but just not a lot of flavor. It’s kind of thin, and warms just a bit as it goes down the throat. Just an off-putting beer that simply doesn’t taste very good.

Bottle. Pour was deep golden with aroma of caramel, toffee, toasted malt, and light fruit. Flavor is bready with a crisp hop finish with light caramel. nicely blended.

Ach du lieber mein kinder! Ein Octoberfest? What a surprise (or not). it’s OK. But let’s face it: when you are ready to get your goof-on, you are gonna strap on the Blatz, and get jiggy with it. This Octoberfest is spicy and just a little bit sassy. That’s right: sassy. It’s not complete junk, but side effects of over-indulgence may include (but is not limited to) anal trauma, liver toxicity, expanding girth, soiled Blousers (Blatz trousers for the uninitiated), marital woes, and the belief that you can dance like a star (you can’t).
Keep a couple of these on hand, for your after dinner treat on a cold fall evening, but stick with Blatz for taste, sophistication, and the ability to impress supermodels with your Erfahrenheit und schmeckt. Don’t question it, mein Fuhrer!
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear amber with a thin white head. Aroma of caramel, toast, honey, and herbs with a hint of spice. Light medium watery body with a moderate amount of carbonation. Nice malty flavor of caramel, toast, apple, and nuts with hints of herbs and spice. Very smooth and refreshing. Another solid offering from Capital, but pretty standard. Good.

Orange, clear pour with spotty, off white head. :Leafy aroma with cracker, nutty, caramel malt. Flavor is caramel with leafy hops. Good for the style, but Oktoberfests kinda suck.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sampled at Famous Liquors Fall /Oktoberfest Tasting in Lombard, IL. Poured a gold/amber with a foamy, off white, fairly lasting head and lacing. Pretty good for plastic. The aroma was some toasty malt and a hint of caramel. The flavor added some subtle hop bitterness, light creaminess to the tongue, and some pleasant dryness to the finish. Standard but good Marzen.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz bottle. Pours a very clear but rich glowing orange amber with a very fine dense white froth. Super rich aroma for a marzen, rich like creamy vanilla, cleaner munich malt sweetness, nice spiciness. Flavor follows but with some leading bitterness, medium sweetness, creamy and round, softer, doughy, just a touch vegetal, and some alcohol. Medium bodied, smooth, heavy, fine fizzy carbonation. Something is a little bit off with this...
