Dec 4, 2009 pours a very light amber/ golden honey color with a medium white head...not very lively looking. aroma is very malty...has some caramel, breadiness, and hay. also a bit of earthy, spicy hops...very faint. flavor is much like the aroma suggests...very caramely and sweet with a hint of spicy hops in the end. actually feels more lively on the palate than i expected...slight metallic aftertaste. not all the bad but not great either.

Nov 4, 2009 Aroma is of barley and cherry licquer. Clear dark amber, thin vanishing head. Buckets of cherry flavor with a lesser malt base. Vanilla finish. Thin to medium body. Surprisingly good, especially for the price.

Oct 25, 2009 Serving: Draft.
Appearance: Clear, orange color with a foamy, off-white head.
Aroma: Light nose that has some grain and an off metallic note.
Flavor: The metallic note returns in the flavor, slight vegetal notes, a little malt sweetness, and some toast. Not the most tasty brew.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light, slightly dry mouthfeel and a short finish.
Overall: Not my favorite Oktoberfest. The metallic note comes through strongly on both the nose and in the flavor. Skip this one.

Oct 13, 2009 Traditional Marzen aroma not sticky sweet, smells like it should... Mouthfeel is a bit strange with small tingling bubbles... Traditional flavors, a touch dry, decent offering... Too heavy to drink in quantity, ABV is felt...

Oct 8, 2009 Flavor is grainy and slightly metallic, somewhat lacking in depth. A bit on the lame side

Sep 26, 2009 Pours a clear golden color with a nice off white foamy head. Aeoma is yeasty. Taste is grainy with a hint of malt. This is an Oktoberfest? National Taste Institute needs to re-taste! Not much going on with this brew.

Sep 20, 2009 On tap at Zeno’s Pub - State College, PA. Pours a lightly hazy pale amber orange, with minimal white head. Aroma gives a generic peach and malt fruitiness. Not much there. Wow. This is a really boring Oktoberfest. Slight munich malt caramels, a touch of grain depth, not much there. Generic bland malty beer, slightly thin, with few exceptional characteristics. No chewiness. A light soapy mineral wash in the backend. Worse than ’meh.’
