Sep 12, 2008 [Original Oktoberfest U.S. bottle] Pours a glowing clear darker amber with a thin airy sudsy white head. Sweet rich toasted caramel malt aroma with a bit of noble hops and a hint of marzipan. Flavor is similar, sweet toasty malt with a generous amount of hops. Pretty grassy and rich. Medium body with soft larger carbonation bubbles.

Sep 12, 2008 Pours a medium copper, with a short-lived head - kind of earthy in the nose, with some nutty and vegetal qualities, and a healthy dose of toasted malts - the malts are quite forward, but not as sweet as in other versions of this style - the malts are more toasted and biscuity, with a caramel sweetness that follows far behind, with a bit of noble hop bitterness underneath - quite smooth, with a somewhat creamy mouthfeel - finishes biscuity/toasty - quite a nice brew.

Sep 10, 2008 12 oz bottle: pours a light amber color with an off-white head that quickly disappears. Aroma of caramel, fruit and some bread. Very sweet iniital taste, lots of caramel/toffee flavor. Eventually gives way to a malty taste and finishes sharply bitter. Medium in body...not too much carbonation. Not bad at all.

Sep 10, 2008 Bottle. Pours a nice ruby color with a large head. Hints of roasted grain followed by butterscotch and brown sugar. One of the better Oktoberfest beers I have had in 2008.
