| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 16, 2009 Tap at Rhino, served in HS dimpled mug. Sweet, fine creamy serve, not too chilled - perfect. Unusual grapey & cola/sasparilla rootsy flavors - rolls over the palate kind of fruity with a spice note, insanely quaffable and surprisingly tasty. Well worth the diversion. mike67 (75), , New Jersey, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 9, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber with a big, off white, short lived head. Lively carbonation. The best quality of the beer is its nice aroma of caramel malts, perfume hops and some dough. The flavor is similar to aroma, but much weaker. Finish is short and unremarkable. The body is medium and crisp. OK Octoberfest but there are much better choices. HermanW (623), Coevorden, Netherlands
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 6, 2009 0,5 liter beugelfles. Heerlijk oktober feest bier. Meerdere keren dit gedronken maar deze is toch wel erg goed. Hoe zou ze smaken in een 2 liter glas. thebeertourist (2777), Oslo, Norway
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Nov 2, 2009 Bottle from Bier-Spezialitäten-Laden, Berlin. Dark amber with a foamy head. Malty aroma. Some bread, not much bitterness, some sweetness lingering. Hints of earth and biscuit. Drinkable. webbcreative (111), , Oklahoma, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Poured amber/orange color, with 2 finger white head that quickly dissapated. Aroma = heavier toasted bread notes, smells malt forward, but also seems more balanced than most o-fests i have had, as there is a bit of floral hops. Taste - well balanced with nice sweet malty, nutty, toasted bread, just a touch bitter, but none of them necessarily dominating. Extremely easy drinking beer. mouthfeel is thin-medium.
Overall this is a great version of an Oktoberfest beer, That I could kill several pints of easily. I will gladly buy this one again.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 28, 2009 Bottle Pours a clear amber with a big off white head. The head is froathy and deminishes quickly. Laces nicely. Has a good aroma of caramel malts, and a touch of grain. Hasan okay carbonation. The flavor is okay. Has some malts and grains like the aroma. Clean and smooth. Has a light to medium body. Has an airy texture if you can understand that. I know what I mean but can’t really describe it. Has a decent finish and an okay aftertaste. jeffc666 (1889), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 25, 2009 Amber bodied with a s skull colored head. Big caramel sweet malty aroma. Flavor is complementary to the aroma, malt up front some herbal hoppiness. Perfect, I guess, for what it is. Certainly one of the better Octoberfests I have tried. yinzerbeernut (51), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 24, 2009 Amber clear pour with a ever so slight off white head that is quick to disappear. It is clear with slight carbonation. There is a grainy malt smoke flavor on nose for this light bodied marzen. There is a slight crisp bitterness on mouth along with a soft malt taste.
