MrRain (415), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA Jan 26, 2008 12oz bottle poured into a lager glass. PO pours the color of amber with a medium to large creamy looking head. The aroma is mostly malt with a touch of hops peeking through. The flavor is quite malty along with the taste of club crackers. The body is medium and evacuates the mouth quickly leaving a small pleasant dry aftertaste. HomeBrewHawk (263), De Soto, Kansas, USA Jan 23, 2008 .5 liter brown bottle. Pours a pretty amber/gold, not a lot of carbonation or head. Lots of malt in the aroma, a little caramel.
Medium body with a rich German malt flavor. There is a little bit of noble hop bitterness. Nice Oktoberfest. Very drinkable, a great beer with spicy food. efrumtheidiot (190), Maryland, USA Jan 16, 2008 pours an orangey amber with a thin white head. aroma has a slight nutty caramel character with gentle hops and a little date. taste is molasses with some sweet & sour notes, a little creamy, and malt shows through. mid-bodied with a light bitter finish. soft carbonation. not really any lacing. leaves a nice taste on the tongue. pretty good. would go nicely with a reuben or pork & sauerkraut. natedoggkc (164), Lenexa, Kansas, USA Jan 15, 2008 Pours a really nice amber color with an off white head. Aroma is of honey, spice, and a floral scent. Taste of honey, caramel, malt, and a slight hop. bitbucket (2024), Kirkland, Washington, USA Jan 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clar bright copper with a fading white head. Sweet caramel and nut aroma with some grassy hops behind it. Medium light body with just a dash of creaminess and moderate carbonation. Sweet taste, pretty much what the nose would lead you to believe. A little bitterness in the finish to remind you that hops have been used. I could probably drink vast quantities of this beer. RCL (1443), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA Jan 10, 2008 Rich, caramel-y aroma and flavor with a hint of fruit. I could drink this by the liter stein. STEPHENDR (478), California, USA Jan 4, 2008 12 oz. glass bottle- color of clear amber, with a off white head - nose of light fruit, light nuttiness, and malty – taste of light fruit, light nuttiness, and roasted malt - body is light to medium, and with medium carbonation – aftertaste of sweet, caramel, and nutty Wulfstan (509), California, USA Jan 2, 2008 Updated: Mar 13, 2008This is a very nice Oktoberfest beer. It is red amber with a medium off-white head that steadily dissipates to a thin ring and wisps. The aroma is malt, whole wheat bread, caramel, and pine. The taste has nice sweet-bitter balance, with malty, caramel, whole wheat sweetness and sourdough followed by light cypress-like, aromatic bitterness that complements the rest nicely in the finish. It is somewhat complex, very tasty, lively, and very nicely balanced, with a good body.
