SHIG (2012), Aviano, Italy Oct 5, 2008 Can: Poured a golden clear with a lacing white head. Aroma is light with some sweet malt. Taste is metal with a sweet malt finish. fidel (882), Livermore, California, USA Oct 4, 2008 Dark amber, sweet, malty, bready, nutty, little caramel, little spice, slight hop. chrisafari (100), Orange, California, USA Oct 3, 2008 Aroma is rich malt, roasted nuts and sweet honey with a background of hops. Pours rich copper color, no head retention and super-clear. Flavor begins with sweet honey and roasted nuts and a nice smooth carmeliness. Finishes with a spiciness in the throat, probably from the hops. Medium to light body. Drinkability is medium to low. Not that impressive. Seems a little off style for a Marzen. msiano (30), Belmar, New Jersey, USA Oct 2, 2008 Kinda weak for a oktoberfest beer.. Poured a dark brown color kinda like flat root beer. you could taste alttle hops. lets face it this beer sucked DandyWolfFloyd (331), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 2, 2008 Roasty dark malts combined with some fruit esters, and a bit doughy. It pours a red amber with a full white head that fizzles into a white collar, nice lacing. Nice sweet flavor, that is not too sweet, minor tartness, great balance mid-tongue bitterness. Perfect, velvety smooth, beautiful balance. GJF (480), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA Oct 1, 2008 I think this is a superb oktoberfest. Big, bold malt, bread, and caramel flavors. A rich body with a sweet, spicy tang followed by just the right touch of hop in the finish. I’ll pour another. Gr0ve (1382), Oslo, Norway Oct 1, 2008 500 ml bottle. Pale golden and crystal clear. Medium-sized white head. Floral hop aroma with a rounded malty background. Feels very clean. Richer malty flavours with a texture that feels somewhat oily and thick. The background is sharply bitter, but not overpowering. Mouth is left in a dry, lightly puckering, state after swallowing. Feels a little like a really strong pilsener. Not particularly interesting. redgold07 (308), Irving, Texas, USA Oct 1, 2008 Pours a transparent amber color with a medium white head. Aroma is of some spice and flavor it definitely a little sweet (brown sugar) plus caramel malt.
On tap at Addison Oktoberfest.
