Can. Pours clear darker yellow with small white head. Aroma is hops and hay. Taste is bitter and light sour. Palate is crisp with good carbonation. Finish has some citrus. Not very good but not very bad either.
1 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
Pours golden with white fluffy head. Aroma is a musty goat, bread, and hay. Taste is funky German yeast with a bit of a fruit punch aftertaste. Not good.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
From a 1L can. Clear brilliant gold with a small fluffy laceful head. Big malty biscuit tones with a slight grassy hop. Big flavor of biscuity malts, Munich malts, pilsener malts, and a balancing grassy hop bitterness. Pretty nice and crisp.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle - pours yellow with a bright white head. malt cereal aroma. Quite a nice light malt flavour slightly sweet with a lingering after taste. Like it!
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Pours a darker yellow color with a frothy white head. Aroma is of grassy hops, light caramel and sweet malts. Flavor is again of grassy hops, lightly spicy, with notes of caramel and sweet malts, along with a slight amount cereal grain. The body is light with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall a solid Oktoberfest.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
33.8 oz can, best by 2/12. Clear yellow straw with a fading white head. Nose is cooked rice, dough and mild brown sugar. Almost medium body with a sharp, refreshing buzz. Taste is dull lemon, hard water and toast. Cardboard and stale popcorn finish. Decently drinkable but seems a bit off.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
1 L can. Poured lighter than I expected - kinda pale gold. Small head. Mild aroam is bready-malty. And dusty, somehow. Flavour is bread and hay, with a touch of noble hops. Not bad, but I wouldn’t drink it again, except to be festive.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
500ml bottle. Pours a clear, light gold, with a smallish white head, which does not last at all, and leaves no lacing behind. Very mild citrus mixes with some unusual herbal notes on the nose, with a touch of rye bread mixed in as well. Strong herbal hops introduce the beer, leading into some weak spice notes in the body. A lingering, dry finish blends a strong caraway flavour with an unfortunate metallic hint. Not the best beer out there, but passable enough, and presumably perfectly acceptable when getting ridiculously sloshed during a month-long beer festival.
