2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Had a bottle at an oktoberfest celebration. Average looking, average head, average aroma, average taste. Feh. Nice enough, I suppose, but I wasn’t impressed. Unimaginative.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. A light golden beer with a white head - a bit light in color for an Oktoberfest. The aroma has notes of straw and hay on a lightly malty back ground. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and citrusy herbs, leading to a nicely bitter finish.

Bottle in Denver. Pours much lighter yellow than expected. Very light aroma with some honey and sweet malt. Light crisp flavour that leans toward sweetness. Very easy drinking fest beer.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: DEC 3, 2008 Rated this last night. Different and good. Will elaborate later, if I can do that from home. Bottle from Liquid Solutions in Portland, OR. Light golden color - but it is tinged with something that makes it quite attractive. The white head whiffed away at once. Warm malty aroma with a touch of hop. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is malty with a touch of yeast and some fruitness. Tends toward pale lager, malt liquor and something a bit darker than either of those. It varies. Unexpected flavors. Finishes non-bitter
