Oct 14, 2000 I agree with PhillyBeer on the color. Perfect. However, I had this on tap and did not notice the ’bite’, in fact, there wasn’t much to it at all. Medium bodied, smooth with an initial bitterness and little aftertaste.

Feb 28, 2002 Amazing fest. Beautiful malt characteristic, with a balanced bittering.

Sep 28, 2000 Had a definite hop character to the aroma, was lighter than most Oktoberfests, and had more hops that I’m used to with this style. Tasted good, but not my favorite Oktoberfest. Also - the bottle was labeled ’Ale.’ Since when is Oktoberfest an ale?

Sep 15, 2001 Deep orange/light amber colour. Mild malt aroma, medium bodied. It doesn’t have the malt complexity, nor the body that I expected. It almost tastes like a a more robust version of their Original Munich Lager. I guess this is what a traditional Oktoberfest is though. Although this is a great beer, I still prefer an American interpretation like Sam Adams.

Aug 29, 2007 Poured a lovely orange/light brown with a nice resilent off-white head. The nose had a slight toastiness, gentle caramelly malts and a nice nuttiness. The flavor started with mostly biscuity and caramel malts with a trace of roastiness and nuttiness. The finish was nicely crisp with Noble hops. I really enjoyed how this beer was hopped, just enough to counter the sweetness and not a smidge more. This beer is a really nice marzen, I think it could stand to be a little fuller in the mouth though.

Oct 13, 2002 Updated: Sep 16, 2006Amber colored, beautful head and lace. Deep nose of caramel like makt, hops are evident...noble and hallertau’s? Almost creamy, medium bodied, toasted caramel flavor, nice hop spiciness, alcohol pokes through a bit which adds character IMO.

Apr 27, 2002 Nice aroma. Have a cold so I can’t quite place aroma qualities in specific. Taste a little too alcoholish. Slight malt presence.

Oct 31, 2002 This is a solid Octoberfest. The only better one I’ve had is the Hacker-Pschorr. This one is a little less interesting than the H-P, but still very solid and well rounded.
