Dorqui (1797) - Brescia, ITALY - SEP 19, 2005
Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfestbier. On tap at Bierhaus (Brescia). Compact and fadingfoam, much unstable and brittle. Limpid yellow color, little shining and fizzy. Alcohol and medium malty scent, little pungent and watery. Fresh and dry taste of malt and alcohol, much smooth and drinkable. Good slightly hoppines end.

Not the best oktoberfest lager out there. Mild malty test with medium carbonation and a slight citrus taste.

Tiny bubbles, In my glass. Too bad they don’t make me happy. Malty sweet. Carmel. Thin body. Ein maB und eine Brezeln would make this one a little besser. Prost!

Crockett (960) - Steelback County, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 12, 2004
Pours pale gold with a sudsy white head. Light toasted malt and dull floral hop. Some caramel in the aroma. Flavour is clean and reflects against the aroma. Toasty and refreshing but not tremendously good. Finish is soft and clean. Not bad.

thedm (4783) - Fort Wayne, USA - OCT 10, 2004
The DM & Hotstuff’s European Honeymoon trip beer number 55. This draft brew in a 1 liter maß from the beer tent at the Oktoberfest in Munich Germany was my first maß. It had a very large sized head of white colored foamy fine to large sized long lasting bubbles that left behind a softly carbonated transparent orange colored body. The aroma was a typical mild malty lager one. The mouth feel was mildly tingly and the flavor contained notes of mild orange peel and malts. A very nice malty flavor, but I expected more.

On tap at Beer Bistro. Pale golden colour with foamy white head. Not as malty as I was expecting but very enjoyable. Biscuity rich nose with a subtle buttery flavour. Dry and refreshing on the finish wihtout being bitter.

On tap at Beer Bistro. Corn and grass aroma, light golden, pours a two finger, rocky white head. Sweet malt taste, hops come along shortly. Sweet at first, then has a pleasing bitter finish. Light, fluffy and ordinary.

From Tap -- Golden yellow with medium head. Malty nose but light flavor. A light version of the Märzen from Hacker.... why ? why ? why ?
