3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 ukntcme (21) - Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 6, 2008
This is one of my favorite beers. Has the perfect balance of malt and hops. Has a slight bitterness and a bit of a dry aftertaste. This is the only beer I will buy till St. Nick comes around.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 BigBeer45 (934) - Michigan, USA - AUG 25, 2008
Bottle, pours a clear bronze gold with amber at the edges, has an off-white head that thinned to a cover, left some lacing on the glass, aroma of faint toasted malt along with bread and bread crust sweetness, flavor of malt and toasted malt with little sweetness on the palate, a medium or a bit less hop bitterness and ends mostly dry, more bitterness then I prefer, too much hops or roasted malt bitterness, otherwise a good Octoberfest Beer, has a medium mouth feel, 6.5% alcohol is concealed well in this beer.

Quality marzen. Goes down smooth, but has an undistiguishable taste from other marzens. Hides the 6.5% ABV well. Good smell, quality.

Bottle. A well played "Roktoberfest" Pittsburg has a handful or so of bragging rights, But when they do. Look Out! Quite possibly one of the top ten on the East Coast!
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 DandyWolfFloyd (378) - Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 27, 2008
Admittedly this is a nice beer, but I did not love it. It is aroma, is full of mellow, but very full hops. It’s a nice amber color, with a decent head. It tastes nice, with distinct hops, and roasted malts, a bit tart. It seemed to be a chore to drink this. I did not love it but, need another chance to re-evalutate it.

Bottle. Pours a light amber color with a white head. Aroma is of malt and some mild hops. Flavor is light hints of caramel, a little roasty and finishes with a mild hop bite. Its nicely balanced, not bad.
