2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
341ml bottle pours a golden amber color with a finger of white head that settles down to leave only a speck or two of lacing on the glass. Aroma is cereal grains and caramel. Taste is a grainy malt sweetness with a light citrus and grassy hop bitterness. A decent brew for the style, but there are better ones out there.

Copper with no head or lace. Sweet syrup, honey aroma. Foisty flavour. Sweet syrup texture. Weird beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
October 30, 2011 - Volo Cask Days 2011 - gravity cask. Minimal notes for this one. Hazy amber, small beige rocky head. Simple malt aroma, cereal, lightly toasty, a tad sweet, just a little soft floral bitterness to balance, light alcohol. Average across the board - crisp, chewy, decently carbonated, finishes fairly quickly leaving a light biscuity malt aftertaste. Nice.

On tap at Church Street fall of 2009. Delicious maltiness, halfway between a summer wheat and a stout. Very Good!

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A: Poured with an average-sized, off-white head. Some spare lacing on the sides of the glass. Body is an amber/orange color, and quite cloudy.
S: Mild, sweet aroma of malt, with a little nuttiness to it.
T: Pretty good flavor of average malt, and moderately sweet. Short duration - doesn’t really last too long after it’s gone. The nuttiness is in there again, with the malt.
M: Medium-bodied and creamy texture, with average carbonation.
D: A very decent Oktoberfest, if not the best I’ve had. While it may not be overly interesting, it definitely is easy to drink.

This is the first oktoberfest beer I have had so I might be a little biased. Had a big glass at the brewery. Aroma is fruity. Red Orange body with a creamy white head. Grain flavour with mild bitter finish. The finish is what I enjoyed the most out of this beer. Very nice can’t wait to go back

[1847-20081103] Tap. Mild grains and mild fruity floral characteristics in the aroma. Slightly hazy, red orange body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Mild grains flavour has mild floral hops and finishes with fruity hops. Medium body has a mild bitter finish. Nice and drinkable, reminiscent of pumpkin fruit.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
2008-11-03. Orange body beige head, mild fruity aroma, muted grains. Flavour is similar, light bitterness balances sweetish flavour. Does not display the degree of malt forward character I would expect from the style. Average plus palate. Just okay, but enjoyable. <i>On tap at O’Carrol’s, Halifax</i>
