Found this one bottled in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Clear, copper pour with a sweet malty nose, a bit floral and a bit fruity and not much else. Kind of weak.

The Dan Journal #48. Tasted 10/22/06. 12oz bottle. Filtered and reddish amber hued. Plummy sherry sugary nose. Almost full bodied and sweetly malt driven. Cinnamon with a slight cocoa note. Meh...

12 Oz Bottle. Pours a burnished copper, fiery and rimmed with a banana-tinted yellow creamed head. Aroma is a rustic seared malt sugar and light earth, held back and maybe muddled with a bit of off-flavor. The originally tasting impressions are of an underdone Marzen, with too little Munich malt, not nearly enough bold chewiness, nuance or good lagering. A nip skanky and all around weak and not desirable. Lacks a balancing crisp bite of hop work at the end.

Kind of dark amber-orange. Grain aromas with some apricot/cherry tang. Also slightly acidic to the taste, with light caramel malts, sweet, and peach-like fruit. Thinning palate and short finish. Abrupt malt arrival on the tongue.

Yellowish copperish colored pour w/ a small white head. Aroma is a touch nutty w/ some roasty sweet malts lots of carmels. Pretty avg palate a bit thin though. The flavor is a typical okt * a typical lakefront brew.. some malts a lightly dry finish.. not all that much to it.

12 oz bottle. Pours to a slightly hazy, deep golden color, with a thick, creamy, white head, and good carbonation. The nose on this beer is excellent; Lots of good toasty and nutty malt aroma. The palate offers the same. Lots of good, crips, toasty and nutty malt flavor, on a clean, round, body. This beer finishes with more good toasty malt up front, then ends with good herbal hop bitterness to round out and balance the malt character. Nice domestic example of Ofest.

(12oz bottle, bottled 3rd week October) Smallish off-white head atop clear amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, some brown sugar, light earthy, cherry. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, some earthy, peach, light lager yeast sourness. Light-medium body, light stickiness, acidity.

Amber to light copper hue. Fizzy head with a quickly disappearing head. Light candied almond aroma and a bit of citrus from the hops. Palate and body are thin and watery with nothing going on in the realm of malt character or anything suggesting a balance of hop and malt. Just nothing there. Typical of Lakefront, not bad, but certainly not good. Very bland, boring and average.
