Sep 19, 2006 um, pretty much just looks like a clear amber ale. smells very much like pistachios and nuts, and strong malts. bock-like as well. getting a ton of apple too. no flavor in the front end, but then there’s plenty. i’d say flavor is malt dominated, but it’s not particularly strong. a bit empty :-/ the aroma is definitely the most distinctive thing about this. i’d rather have a retro encabulator

Sep 18, 2006 ’06 batch.Sweet roasted malt taste.
Not much hops to balance the flavour.
I pick up this brew every year,and
every year it is more watery.30%
of all beer brewed in Munich is consumed at the annual Octoberfest.

Sep 18, 2006 Bottle. Amber with a light head, minimal lacing. A sweet aroma of malt, hint of spice. Very smooth flavor with hints of malt, pumpkin/cinnamon (?) spice, a bit metalic at the finish, very odd. Leaves a tingling sensation on the tongue. I like it, sophisticated yet simple. This is what I will be drinking for Oktoberfest 2006.

Sep 17, 2006 Updated: Oct 6, 2006Malty aroma with a touch of cinnamon? or brown-sugar? Creamy flavor, along with the body with a nice malty bite, which is slightly caramel like. Light, balancing bitterness in the finish. Nice Oktoberfest.

Sep 16, 2006 Kind of a malty cowpasture pour. Sweet malts with roasted nuttiness. Some pumpkin like hints. Dances around a chewy side then lances down a earthy tone. A very decent Oktoberfest....i can’t wait for Oktober!

Sep 16, 2006 12 oz. bottle. Deep amber with a thick tan head. Aroma of sweet malt. Sweet malty flavor with some roasted notes. Smooth finish. Fall beers are a lot more interesting than most summer beers. Extra points for the history of the style.

Sep 16, 2006 O’ Zapft Is! Had to run out and get an Oktoberfest today...the offical start of the festival. Just need some hendel to go with this delicious brew. Sweet malty aroma. Chewy white head that lasted. Strong malt flavor at the start finishing w/ a nice hop edge. I just need a Mass and some lederhosen and I’m back...

Sep 15, 2006 I had this last night at Bodega downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin. It just arrived at the bar in both bottles and on draft. I had a mug of draft and a bottle poured into the same kind of mug to compare side by side. The draft was very obviously lighter in color and after tasting lighter in body, flavor, and aroma. In fact the draft is a bit watery/thin. Both had light head with a bit of lace that faded. Mild flavor. Sadly has continuously gone downhill since days of yore.
