Tastes like a good session beer, it’s an oktoberfest beer so that’s the point. It’s orange.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Lemke10 (540) - Janesville, Wisconsin, USA - APR 5, 2012
I got a 500mL bottle of this as a closeout deal at Woodman’s in Rockford, IL in early 2012 for $1.99.
Pours a cloudy, copper color with a slight head on it. The scent is mild with grassy grains and a slight bit of spices. Taste is malty but rather watery for an Oktoberfest beer. I found some spices in the taste but not as many as I was expecting. Good drinkability and decent taste but probably one of the weaker Marzen beers I have ever had before but seeing how it’s April, I won’t complain too much.

Pours a murky golden color with little head or retention. Nose is toffee candy malt and herb. First sip is herbal hop and light malts on a medium body. Mild cocoa and molasses and biscuit follow. Very palatable. Tasty Märzen.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 Beaver (1062) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - FEB 8, 2012
500ml bottle. Pours clear light orange amber with a big creamy off-white head that retains well and leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is sweet, almost sugary, toasted malts and toffee.
The flavor is the same - sweet sugary toasted malts with a dry finish. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, a decent Oktoberfest. Too sweet and toasty for me.

Vegas bottle. Didn’t even know they made a fest beer. Pretty malty and caramelly overall with a little spice in the finish. Okay I suppose.
