3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled. A hazy orange-red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit - especially peaches, as well as notes of malt and berries. the flavor is sweet with notes of dusty German hops combined with light notes of alcohol, leading to a dry and slightly bitter finish. OK, but nothing special.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(12oz bottle) Crystal clear amber with small off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, evokes hefeweizen -- banana and wheat, with light spice, caramel. Taste is medium sweet, banana, some caramel, light spice, earthy. Light-medium body. Not bad, but not what I would call a traditional oktoberfest beer.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draught at GABF 2008. Clear amber - white head. Citric, light malty, sweetness, pilsner malty, knækbrød, grainy, crispy, toasted. Boring.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a clear deep copper with a thin, fizzy white head. Aroma boasts lots of thick sweet caramel malt and a touch of noble hops and German lager yeastiness. Body starts very malty, sweet, and full with a good bittering hop balance toward a crisp, yet creamy, malty finish. A very enjoyable Oktoberfest.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: SEP 30, 2008 Small yellowish head over clear pale-amber beer. Extremely fruity nose, rosehipsjam, caramelmalts in force. Bready, but with a leafy, near-bitterish tang, that is very welcome, relieving the more classical sweet, malty, caramel-fruity notes. Retronasal again rosehipsjam. Bit spritzy MF, slick, but not much body. Not bad, even when, considering this an Oktoberfestbeer, I’d hate to have to drink liters of this. Thanks, DA!
