Sep 29, 2009 Sampled at Lundeen’s Brew Ha-Ha 2009. Pours a clear amber-orange color with a small, dense, white head. Aroma has an light amount of toasted malt with an average amount caramel, straw, hay and apple notes. Flavor has a strong grainy presence, grassy, light caramel and some metallic tastes. Medium body and a pretty creamy texture which made the beer feel pretty good. Overall an okay oktoberfest but still misses the mark a bit.

Sep 28, 2009 Fliptop from Arden Wines. Pours brilliant copper with a receding billow of suds. Beeswax, leather, oily garden hop aroma with some cake-like sweetness and almond. Soapy pinecone hop, chewed pencil, lingering bread and honey, lick of Nutella. CHURCH END. Supped this with some greasy late night nibbles, which really didn’t work and killed the carbonation and flavour to some extent. A shame because it’s a fine and distinctive Oktoberfest with a richer, breadier malt profile than most. Filtered, bottled or from the wood, HP are quality.

Sep 27, 2009 The aroma is earthy smell, cereal grains, malts, caramel, fruit, prunes. The appearance is the reddish/orange, true to the Oktoberfest style. The flavor is caramel, malts, brown sugar, bread. The finish is a light hop bittering. Medium mouthfeel. Not great, but very drinkable.

Sep 21, 2009 Good example of the style, but not the greatest. Everything you’d expect from your run of the mill marzen. Uber drinkable on a hot day!

Sep 20, 2009 Very good oktoberfest. Much lighter and lighter bodied then other offerings. This one doesn’t have that sticky mouthful you get in so many other oktoberfests. Easy drinking and finished pretty dry. I would say it’s alittle watery but not in a bad way. Still has some nice flavor.
