3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled. Reddish amber. The crystal malt flavour is dominating the beer. Chewy mouthfeel. Pleasant, but one-dimensional. I've never really accepted octoberfest beers made with crystal malt, but this one is pretty good.

Bottle from allendodd. Thanks for this one. Pours a very light amber with a large, frothy off-white head. Aroma is fresh fruit and caramel. Rather light in body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is caramel and some sort of light fruit. Finishes mildly fruity and lightly caramel. Not real flavorful, but nice to drink.

Amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is loaded with soft maltiness. Lightly swet and toasty with a bit of Munich malt sweetness. Excelent cleanliness with a crisp fresh breadiness. Softly sweet and a little toasty. A touch of light herbal character. Sweet and balanced and fairly toasty. Nice brew.
