3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle purchased at Woodman’s in Onalaska, Wisconsin. The pour is clear golden copper with a two inch off white head that falls noisily. The aroma is sweet cereal grain, caramel, and light grass and earth. The taste is grain, cereal malt, faint caramel sweet, then a bit of the grass in the drier finish. The palate is medium to light bodied, active carbonation and a slightly dirty sweet grass finish. Decent Oktoberfest, though I guess I expected a bit more from New Glarus.

Bottle. The aroma is strong malt. The taste is really smooth, but a little thin. A decent octoberfest.

This is just an ok brew. It really is lacking depth and flavor. It may have lots of malt but I feel that this is overpowering and underwhelming in flavor profile.

Light red color and very clear. Single finger head faded quick. Mouth is thin. Aroma is spicey and malty. Taste is malty. Lots of classic Marzen notes. I found this to be a a little muted though.

Pours golden/lt amber with a medium lt tan head. Aroma has straw, grass, and just a touch of dry leaves and caramel. Flavor follows suit...almost a hint of chocolate...like a hint of tootsie roll. Mouthfeel is medium and creamy with an earthy/grassy/lt roasted finish.

One of the more decent Oktoberfest beers I have tasted for someone who does not have an Oktoberfest palate...
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
My first Oktoberfest of the season! Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a Deschutes snifter.
A: Pours an amber color, a little on the dark side, with a nice 1.5 finger white head that sticks around for a while. Leaves some nice bubbly lace on the way down.
S: Big on the malts with some little spices coming around. Pretty typical of the style.
T: Just big malts and some lager-like qualities to it. No really spiced notes or anything. Not the biggest fan.
M: Light to medium bodied. Crisp and clean with a smooth swallow. Very drinkable.
O: Wasn’t that impressed with this one. Big malts and nothing else. Very one dimensional.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a clear deep copper color with a one finger tan foamy head. Head fades quick and doesn’t leave much lacing. Aromas are of sweet malts and a little earthy grass or hay. Flavors are big roasted malts with a nice sweetness. Not much hops for balance, this one is all about the malts. Not my favorite New Glarus beer, but a decent seasonal Octoberfest brew.
