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.

Had this beer on 6/23/2000. Aroma is a sweet carmely malt scent. Color is a bright golden brown with very light carbonation and an ok head. Taste a bitter malt flavor. Starting with medium body it goes down with a sour funk. Finish is a somewhat dry malt flavor with a bitter end. Its just not a good Octoberfest.

Draft at the OF. Hazy tan-amber color with a minimal oily head. Big amber-caramel aroma. Super sweet diacetyl bomb. Lots of caramel/butterscotch straight up dominates. Probably one of the worst Oktoberfests I’ve had. The whole batch should have been drainpoured. Trash.
