2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draught at Old Dominion Brewhouse, Washington DC
Light amber color. Some malt aroma, some malt, caramel and cereals flavor, medium body, light residual sweetness, correct bitterness... very simple, it reminds me some bottled Amber from Europe, not an Oktoberfest.

Sparkling clear, beautiful, copper-colored lager. Small, creamy, beige head.
Malty nose with notes of caramel, cocoa, leather and herbs.
Very well-balanced flavor. Hearty and caramely with a very strong hop profile for the style.
Full-bodied with a syrupy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation.
Moderately bitter, astringent, grassy finish.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle 12 oz. Pours a dark amber color with a large creamy off-white head with good lacing. Good malty aroma. Good roasted malt balanced flavor with moderate finish. Good oktoberfest.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Quite deep colour - almost ginger. Low carbonation. Very malty aroma - bready and yeasty with hints of caramel and butterscotch. Flavour is malt dominated too, with a sweet and sour edge on the finish. I found it somewhat unbalanced. I didn’t think that the hops came through strongly enough to temper the malt. Interesting, but I don’t really go a bundle on these malty beers. Bottle, courtesy of The_Beer_God. Thanks Mike.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a clear copper amber with a thin wispy lightly-lacing off-white head. Authentic Vienna malty aroma has lots of toasty caramel and noble hop character. Starts with some sweet bready grainy maltiness and a good balance of noble hops. A well-balanced and authentic oktoberfest.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle. Nose of smoked corn, heavy maple and caramel, with the vienna malts very pronounced. Flavor is slightly sour caramel and maple flavored corn, sitting heavy on the tongue, nearly syrupy. Strange.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at VA Beach Craft Beer Festival. Pours clear amber with a medium, fizzy off-white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is caramel and cookie malt, light hops, dark fruit (dates), and a clean lager nose. Flavor is malt dominant, light hops and bitterness, clean lager character and a sweet finish. Medium body and carbonation, light warmth.
