Nov 1, 2002 Brown colour; aromatically malty, with smokey undertones. Nicely drinkable.

Feb 8, 2005 A beer that is a delight to pour. Very nice brownish golden color with just the right amount of head. This quickly disappears and leaves just a thin ring. I downgraded it a bit on palate. It leaves a hint of sting as an aftertaste. But overall what a nice beer! Each sip delivered something new and interesting. A joy to taste.

Aug 2, 2002 A lowly carbonation level robs this otherwise nice looking brew of the aromas it deserves. A good maltiness but I feel a bit more hop is deserved. Still, a good martzen.

Aug 6, 2002 Gave this the same score as Spaten Oktoberfest, but for slightly different reasons. Not quite as much head, and less aroma, but pretty color, and i little more hop bite at the end, which i liked. No reason not to have both.

Jul 7, 2003 Great appearance, looks and smells very tasty. Aftertaste is a little weird though.

Oct 5, 2002 Has a nice amber color and a sweet smell. Taste is fairly standard of the German Oktoberfests with malt and a slightly bitter finish. Overall, not a bad beer that I would get again.

Oct 8, 2002 Typical Octoberfest. Aroma is of hay and a little doughy yeast? Starts sweet and fininshes slightly bitter and sweet. The flavor doesn’t linger long. The head was thin and also did not last long.

Sep 26, 2002 Flowers, hay, hops also sweetness coming to my nose. Yellow body with a little fast diminishing head. Nice malty flavor also pears. Light sweet aftertaste. Refreshing and good beer.
