Oct 28, 2007 12 oz bottle from Discount Liquors in WI. A 12 pack of these came with a free 1L glass. Its worth a try on that alone. Pours an amber caramel with a small head. Nose is marzen, toffee, and caramel with a touch of spice. Marzen caramel flavor base, with a grainy earthy spicy hop presence that’s muted but enough to just taste strange.

Oct 25, 2007 The beer has a fresh aroma with caramel and a distinctive grain bin smell. Smells exactly like being in the brewery when an Oktoberfest is being brewed. Gold to copper color with a creamy head. Big grain taste with a non-hop bite at finish. Hearty and dense mouthfeel.

Oct 24, 2007 Updated: Oct 25, 2007Strong fruity aroma, taste is malt and carmel with fizzy bitter finish. Only complaint is a slight metallis taste, otherwise quite good.

Oct 19, 2007 Pours a deep, clear copper with a dense, frothy, beige head that reduces to a thin cap of bubbles. The aroma is bready malt with caramel and fruity hops rounding out the nose. The mouthfeel is on the light side of medium-bodied with a slick almost creamy mouthfeel that concludes in a clean, lightly dry finish. The flavor is of toasted bread, caramel and lightly fruity hops. After sampling over a dozen "traditional" Oktoberfests, this is easily my favorite of those available in bottles.

Oct 11, 2007 On tap, 10/10/07. Pours a deep amber color, stark white foam with less than spectacular retention and great lacing. Aroma is chock full of malt, lots of caramel. Flavor is all about the malt, just enough spicy hops to keep things in check, but man what a malt bomb. Great mouthfeel, great beer. Always one of my favorite Oktoberfests.
