Bottle. Clear light amber (copper) color with a small to average fair lacing white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toffe. honey ? and some notes of alcohol. Flavor is moderate sweet, and ligth to moderate bitter. Body is ligth to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft, finish feel is metalic.

Bottled. A golden-orange beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of hops and caramel, as well as lighter notes of floweres and dust. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving some laces. Clean, malty aroma with a touch of honey. Medium body with a lightly sweet caramel flavour and a dry finish. Very clean. 290407

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and deep golden orange with a lacing white head. Aroma is mild breadish and slight butterish too. Flavour is smooth malty with a minor butterish note. Light caramel malt and a scent of a honey like sweetness. Smooth finish. Nice brew indeed.

Draught. Amber colour, big beige head. Aroma of Märzen a a bit caramel. Same In flavour. Not that exciting but it is a very clean and welldone Oktoberfestbrew.

Bottled at Loch Ness, Stockholm. Copper colour, creamy head. Caramelly nose. Medium sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Cardboardy malt dominates. Mushy mouthfeel. Modernized, simplified and dumbed down - all the things that characterizes production cost cuttings. The most disappointing German oktoberfestbier ever.

Bottle. Dark copper colour, small head. Looks flat. A little malty. The alcohol stands out a bit, perhaps it is because of the combination with a hop flavour that is a little harsh. Mild carbonation, which I like. Good mouthfeel.
