May 8, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Iowaherkeye. Thanks!
Think I waited to long on this beer. Pours a bright clear reddish orange malt with a small beige head. Smell is sticky, stale, gooey malt with band aid qualities and metal. Probably not as it was intended. Unappealing malt flavor and metal as well.

Apr 19, 2008 Bottle from bockyhorsey. Amber shaded straw, decent sudsy heat and lacing. Aroma of pils malts, grassy and bready notes. Flavor was stark pilsner-like, although toasted elements and bread were also present. The mouthfeel was full bodied, malty-hardy, balancing carbonation. Thanks, Bill!

Mar 8, 2008 Bottle. Copper color, amber color with a thin white head. Strong taste and aroma of crystal malts. A bit sweeter than I expected. Bitter finish. Pretty average beer if you ask me. Not extraordinary but not bad.

Feb 8, 2008 Pours a brilliant clearish orange color, white head that fades quickly to nothing, no lace. Smells malty. Tastes malty sweet with just a hint of brown sugar. Almost dry tasting. This is the best tasting Oktoberfest I’ve ever had.
Nice, full mouthfeel. Nice vibrant carbonation. Very good beer. Not one of those Oktoberfests that is so sweet you can only drink one.

Jan 29, 2008 Pours a clear golden orange color with a small, foamy white head. The foam settles to a wspy film, leaving random spots of lacing behind. The aroma is malty, with toasty caramel and cereal grains showing behind a veil of fruity esters and nutty notes. The flavor follows suit, with toasty almonds and light floral hops blending well with caramel malts and dry roasted grains. The medium-full, slightly sugary mouthfeel is smooth and pleasing, finishing short, sweet, and malty. Overall, pretty solid for the style.

Jan 28, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a light amber color with a small white head. Malty aroma includes cereal grains and lots of sweet toffee. Taste is rather sweet, with a good amount of caramel, nut, and biscuit. Lively carbonation, and a better than expected mouthfeel. Extremely drinkable, and very good overall.
