2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Now named fallfest. Yellow color. Sweet but not malty enough. Not an Oktoberfest beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Lazlos in Lincoln, Nebraska. Again, told this was the first day of the season for this. Lucky me. Poured a nice red color with a medium head that left little lacing. Nose of sweet malts and spices. Nice mouthfeel. Good balance. Even my wife liked this one. Nice.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Tap at South location...this was the second batch of the year, I believe. No head, clear copper to almost amber color. Very little aroma, a big of dough and toast. Quite watery with a slight toasted malt aftertaste. Very thin. Bland. The first batch was better.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at Crescent Moon Alehouse: orange-red with a thin head. At first this is a smooth caramel drinker, but then a tartness with an apple tone breaks through. Good fall beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the Crescent Moon Alehouse. Light amber in color. White head that is short-lived. Good hop aroma. Delicious strong hop alpha to the tongue. Good malt balanced sweetness. This is a fine oktoberfest ale: not too heavy, but enough flavor to enjoy several under the tent.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
(Draught) Pours an amber color with an average-sized white head. Mild aroma of sweet malts and spices. Floavor of malt, caramel, and some spices. A bit bitter and somewhat watery.
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Had this on draught at Lazlo’s Haymarket. Orange in color with a little white head. Aroma was very generic similar to bud light. Was watery with little spice. The malts were very weak. Not a good example of this style. I won’t drink this again.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught: This beer was a very dark golden color. There was a little head, that was off white in color. It didn't linger or lace down the side of the glass. The aroma was fairly muted: not very strong, but there was some spiciness to it. The taste was a bit spicy, with hints of caramel and a hint of smokiness. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Fairly well balanced.
