| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 14, 2005 Sark ornage body with a creamy, thick head. The aroma is toffee, oranges and some light tobacco. The taste is rather dry with oranges and some light caramel. There is also a toasty note of almonds. Finishes with a little bit of dry wheat. A decent oktoberfest, but I am guessing it is nicer when fresh. MmmmCheese (29), Columbia, Maryland, USA

Excellent served at room temperature or slightly cooler medium sweetness, oily feel, average carbonation, Britales (56), Cape Charles, Virginia, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 4, 2005 Clear orange/amber with a very short tan head. Aroma picked up sweet caramel and toffee malts as well as roasted barley. Very inviting nose for the style, just wish it was a little stronger. Flavor picked up everything from the nose as well as some subtle spices, and the malt backbone worked very well on the palate. Medium-bodied. Finish was sweet and roasty. Very fine oktoberfest. jmuhops (663), Winchester, Virginia, USA

Flavor is very malty, with hints of caramel and toffee. Only a decent example of an Oktoberfest, and too expensive to megasession.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 26, 2005 Bottled. Nice amber colour with a big slightly off-white head. Caramelly, malty aroma with a little hoppiness. Malty, caramelly, medium sweet with hops coming through in the finish. Fairly balanced, though leaning maybe a bit more towards maltiness. Mediumbodied with a good mouthfeel. Good one, though this style is not particularly my favourite.
