2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: JUN 4, 2008 Bottle. A cloudy, foggy, reddish amber pour. Tons of sediment floating around in the entire glass. Inescapable. Perhaps a pencil’s width of foamy creamy persistent head. Basically no lacing at all. Aroma is a tinge of acidic malts with slight chocolate notes. Flavor is tangy malts and distant chocolate and caramel. Pretty muted flavor. Watery mouthfeel. Soft and creamy on the back of the tongue. Not really too great, but somewhat drinkable at least.

I was not big on this beer...maybe I had a bad bottle, but this tasted a little stale. I will have to re-rate later on.

2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
THOUGHTS: Not a style I normally drink. I really don’t lie Octoverfests wither but this wasn’t too bad. Malty and not as bitter as I would have thought, coming from Penn. Not much of a fan of Penn either except for the St. Nick Bock, but this definitely exceeded my expectations.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a spaqrkling, medium amber with a small, off-white head that mostlry diminished and left a tiny bit of lacing.
The aroma was moderate caramel malt and light grassy hops and maybe some tobacco. The initial flavor was moderately sweet and sour, while the finish was heavily sweet and light to moderately bitter. The body was light to medium and dry with soft carbonation and a metallic finish.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap-Arena’s-Rehoboth. Poured a ruby red color w/a moderate tan head. Roasted nut aroma. Roasted malt flavor w/traces of caramel, & toffee. Had a little bit of a spicy flavor and a bit of a bitter finish to balance it out. Solid, not spectacular. Definate sesson brew, but the place was offering $2 Yuenglings so I switched over to them & really enjoyed them more!
