2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20Hoppy aroma.Golden appearance with good head. I would not call this an Oktoberfest beer. It’s more like a crisp, slightly malty lager.Not worth seeking out.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pretty sweet and toffeeish, a bit paler than I’d like to see. Almost one-dimensionally sweet - not as much depth as their maibock. Still, an above average full flavored Oktoberfest.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Initially very mellow with good malt taste, but the aftertaste is alcoholic and slightly rough.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle pours a clear pale gold with a thin white head. Rich malty aroma. Taste is bready, sweet, thin, and a bit of fruit. Drinkable but not remarkable.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle @ Mark’s place (from notes). Aroma is earthy and a bit vegetal / Mid palate is very well integrated / Final has a subtle bitterness. Good stuff
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Aroma is very light. No head, pale yellow. Taste has a bit of zest, but overall not too interesting. Watery.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
11.2oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear, dark gold with a minimal bit of head. Aroma of skunk, some herbal hops and a little bready yeast. Taste of citrus and floral hops, honey and bread. Medium bodied with a somewhat slick texture. Lively carbonation and a very long finish. Overall, pretty good. I"m suprised how good it tastes compared to the aroma.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
From a 330ml bottle on 4/1/2013. Pours a crystal cleat, bright golden with as medium head. Has modest grassy aroma with a hint of citrus. In the mouth, it’s very sweet, with some surprising pear and apricot notes, and lots bready malt. Finishes with a nice, medium herbal hop bitterness. Enjoyed this one more than I expected.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
50 cl bottle, 6.3%, 1.25€. Intense gold color, crystal clear with a big white head. Nose is quiet, a hint of hops. Aroma is full of bready malts, a spicy tone and grassy hops. A soft bitternes, still being slightly sweet. Finish is malty, but fairly dry. Tasty! Almost full-bodied for the style, proper carbonation. A classic oktoberfest bier.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Average for an Oktoberfest. Less full bodied than other (better made) Oktoberfests, but there is an appeal to this one- lying mostly in the fact that it’s actually made in Germany and sports a cool German label.
