| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2007 Another from Skyview. Ordinary brown color. Nice malt aroma, but surprisingly full and intense malt flavor. Lots of grain and some yeast. Better than most in the style. badgerben (3610), Blaine, Minnesota, USA

Big malt and grain flavor. Slightly buttery. Floral hop finish, but not bitter. Quite nice. Skyview (4121), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 4, 2007 On draught at Sam’s Taproom in Red Lodge, Montana. Pours a clear copper penny amber with a creamy off-white head that quickly disipates to a fine film and ring. Aroma of light, sweet caramel malt, a touch of maple syrup, flowery hops and roasted nuts. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with a light caramel flavor with no bitterness. Finish is creamy, smooth with just a hint of caramel flavor and barely any bitterness. A fine light octoberfest. kyzr (1132), Belgrade, Montana, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 5, 2006 Light amber in color with a soft off-white head. Light nose of malt. Flavor is much the same, hints of light roasted malt, with a touch of hops to round it out. Very light body and the finish gets a little sweet.
