Oct 19, 2007 Bottled. A golden colourd lager with hardly any head. The aroma and taste have some good noble hops. The malts are nice and balancing and on no way have that buttery off tastes I find with some maerzens. Nice alcohol levels also. This is a very nice fest beer, and a credit to such a large brewer.

Oct 17, 2007 Aroma has hints of fruit and flowers. Taste is rich and hoppy with just a hint of sweetness. As far as Oktoberfest seasonals go, this is one of the best.

Oct 16, 2007 1L on draft at Paulaner’s 2007 Oktoberfest tent in Munich.
Darker beer than most of the other similar-styled offerings at Oktoberfest. I must admit that the 2 Liters that I consumed were liters #4 and 5 on the day, so my judgment may have been impaired at this point. If my handwriting at that point is any indication, then I was a bit tipsy at this point. BUT, since I am giving the beer high marks, I did not want to shortchange Paulaner! Overall sweet malty body and balanced hoppy finish. Bit heavier than I had expected.

Oct 16, 2007 Poured into a mug, nice light amber color with a small tan head.
Malty caramel flavor, with a little spice added on the end. Leaves a nice toasted caramel flavor in the mouth.
One of my new favorite ambers...definitely more character than Dos Equis Amber or Amber Bock.

Oct 14, 2007 12oz. bottle. Pours a amber yellow with a very thin white head. Aroma of malts and grain. The flavor is of malt with a sharp, bitter finish that I actually enjoy. Has a veryl light, crisp mouthfeel. Not as good as Spaten or Lowenbrau in my opinion.

Oct 11, 2007 Pours with a massive head. Nice copper orange color. Clean smelling aroma of apples. Nice clean and sweet apple juice like taste with a dry finish.

Oct 10, 2007 Good beer. Apperance is ok. The taste is almost too bitter, but overall taste is good and a beer that I could drink all night.
