COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Several malts, including Munich and chocolate, deliver the malty character. The delicate hop aroma is not overpowering and the Willamette hops provide a gentle bitterness which balance well with the residual sweetness.

Tap, free sample at Downtown Produce. A pleasant surprise in January. Copper color with a large head, it was from a keg in the store, with a soft bread aroma. Sweet taste, mostly of caramel than malt, with a dry finish. Better than average Oktoberfest beer.

When it comes to a decent Octoberfest, this beer is kind of in the middle of the bunch. It pours a medium amber color with a nice scent of spices that scream Octoberfest. It has a slight bitter taste that full of spice and yet smooth to drink. My only complaints are I think it’s a little too smooth needing more texture to it and the slight after taste it leaves.

Draught at Rattle & Hum NYC 2012.Clear dark amber beer with a big offwhite lacy head. Hoppy and fruity aroma. Fruity, hoppy, sweet flavour with some candy notes.

Pours a clear reddish brown. Aroma of rich malts. Taste is malt forward with a spicy dry bite at the finish. Similar to German style with a more bitter finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

superspak (1539) - Michigan, USA - DEC 4, 2012
12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 12/19/2012. Pours fairly crystal clear orange copper color with a small 1 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of caramel, pear, apple, toast, toffee, biscuit, nuttiness, molasses, and herbal hops. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity; fits the style very well. Taste of caramel, toast, brown sugar, toffee, pear, apple, biscuit, light nuttiness, floral, and herbal hops. Minimal bitterness on the finish as expected; with lingering notes of caramel, light fruits, toast, biscuit, toffee, light nuttiness, and herbal on the finish for a good bit. Pretty nice flavor balance and complexity, but it was not as robust feeling as I was hoping from the aromas; zero cloying flavors present after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a lightly creamy and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with pretty much zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very good Oktoberfest style. Nice flavor balance and complexity; and very smooth to drink as expected. Could have used a bit fuller flavor, but this was still a very good style representation. Definitely enjoyed this one.

Average beer. Mild bready malt aroma. Nice dark apple cider color with foamy head. It looked like a big Germam beer in my mug. The taste was not strong but subtle. Malty and earthy with an occassional hop bitterness. Good refreshing beer but not very exciting.
