3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: MAR 17, 2011 Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a red-orange color with a trace of a white head that faded quickly. The aroma was lightly sweet, malty and fruity. The flavor was tart, bitter and fruity with undertones of caramel and nut. The finish was long, tart and fruity. Medium body. Decent.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft sample at pub. Pours copper color with rimming head. Nose is caramel malt. Medium body, crisp hop finish with a huge caramel flavor. Decent, but rather one dimensional.

Blah. This is not O/M. Aroma was weak. Could barely pick up anything except a maple syrup like aroma. Pour was a deep amber with a one finger off white head. Taste was awful. Thin and syrupy with hot caramel malt and a hot alky aftertaste. Very thin and little to no carbonation. This was the worst I’ve had from them.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Clear orange with a tinge of red. Barely any aroma but at times I detect volatile hydrocarbons, in a good way of course. Fairly strong initial alky impact but not like the 8+% listed here. Much more than your father’s Oktoberfest. Finish? Has a hint of ’fest but mostly it’s noticeably medicinal and alky.
