3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
This beer much reminds me of Boulevard Bob’s 47. Spiced flavors of ginger and cinnamon, along with caramel and the clean lager like finish. Pretty good effort.

pours a very clear amber with a thick light tan head. aroma is malty...notes of hay and mild caramel. flavor follows suit...i think its more fruity than caramely though...some earthiness towards the end. mouthfeel is very light...kind of watery...with a dry malty, earthy finish.

12 ounce bottle from Belmont Party Supply. Pours a clear golden with a creamy offwhite head. Below average head retention. Aroma of toasted malts and leafy hops. The taste is toasted malts, caramel, mild bitter hop finish. Medium bodied. Nice beer.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Light malt aroma on this dark amber pour...difficult to smell. Overdose of malt and caramel with a spicy finish.
4.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
clear copper with an aggressive head with a cascading stream of tightly carbonated bubbles flowing to the top. The smell is full and malty with some pepper and spice in the background. The beer itself is very full and crisp. A subtle kick from the spicy hops cuts through the caramel malt and a distinct earthiness. One of the most complex Oktoberfests you’ll find. Some lean toward a watery body, but not this one!
More aggressive and complex than most others of the style, I think it’s delightful.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft a Zincinnati Oktoberfest. A little bolder, a little more earthy and slightly more bitter than I like in a fest beer. It was fine, just not one of my favorites.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a clear orange with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma of caramel and malts with some light hops. Flavor is sweet caramel, light hops and spice. Tastes like Autumn. Good.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a medium brown with slight head and little lacing. Nose is brown malt with bready fruity ketone’s. First sip is great with malitiness and toasted barley. Finish is clean.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
Solid beer. Very drinkable. Heavy accent of the noble hops. Really fits the "octoberfest" description. Great fall beer.
