Sep 5, 2007 Bottle. Amber caramel color, sweet malt or toast aroma. Crisp malt profile. Caramel and munich malt flavor. Simple and well balanced. Easy drinking and very smooth. Well crafted beer. Good fresh and cold.

Sep 3, 2007 Beer poured with bright orange color with smallish foamy head. Spicy aroma. This was a nice amber ale. Spices were subtle and not overdone...in fact, I might not even have noted this as an Oktoberfest if the label didn’t tell me so. Mouthfeel was pretty carbonated. Very crisp, clean, refreshing brew.

Sep 3, 2007 Golden with an OK head. The aroma is malty and hoppy. The flavour is slightly sweet with light notes of flower and caramel and the bitterness is low. This beer simply doesn’t make any impression on me, but then again this is absolutely not a favourite style... 1543

Sep 2, 2007 Heavy, nice malt taste without being too sweet - beer taste not sugar taste. Solid beer.

Sep 1, 2007 Tried this out of bottle. Pours a nice clear amber with frothy head. Aroma is a nice scent of fresh bread. Flavor is a clean and crisp with slight hops bitterness. Overall, I’d purchase this again...

Aug 31, 2007 Bottle--Ah, Oktoberfest time, or as it is known in Florida, summer. More acturately it is hurricane season. But with September one day away it time to dream of cold fronts dropping down the morning temperature to 68, soccer practices without skin roasting sun and rolling down the car windows on the drive home. Alas, none of this happens until late October, but a fine Oktoberfest brew can take your mind off the 90 degree days and allows you to wrap yourself in dreams of crisp breezes and the smell of fallen leaves. Leaving the yearnings of midwestern childhoods behind, I see that my beer is a solid dark amber, almost copper, color with a small head. A strong sweet smell hits you straight from the bottle and I have to agree with Linus/Stick of the wet malt smell. I could never quite place that smell, but now I can. The taste is of soft caramel and a touch of nuts. The finish is the nice part as some hops rise up and just clip off the final portion of the sip to leave a little lip smacking. It’s some really fine stuff, I wish it was fresher. produce place 10.89
