SkyCop32 (286), Morlautern, Germany Dec 20, 2008 The beer pours a clear red with lots of carbonation. This is a well balanced beer with taste, bitterness, sweetness, and alcohol taste. This is a really good beer. gerzm22 (107), , Florida, USA Dec 13, 2008 This is one of my all-time favorite beers. Its color, malty aroma, and envoking aftertaste really enliving the senses. This beer reminds me most of falll zvikar (414), Tel-Aviv, Israel Dec 10, 2008 Updated: Oct 14, 2009@ Newark airport, from tap, red color with a white medium head, aroma is cheesy with some herbs and deep caramel, flavor is malty and graiy with deep caramel notes and balancing acidity, medium bodied, nice and refreshing.6/4/6/3/12
Nice red color but with small head, aroma of flowers fruits and herbs, sweet biscuit malty flavor with a finish quite like the mid flavor. OK+.6/3/6/3/10 shorlin (373), St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada Dec 8, 2008 Pours a deep copper. Head is fizzy and dissipates very quickly. Aroma is malty, with something like dried fruit in it. Also caramel. Nice but not really enough aroma to stand out. Flavour is sweet but not stand out. The mouthfeel is great. Full and creamy. basewars (144), Albany, New York, USA Nov 30, 2008 Pours clear golden brown with nice off-white head. Aroma is caramel, malt, some hops. Flavor is mostly caramel, but a bit watery. I remember this being more flavorful in years past, but not bad overall. soyorganic (217), Denver, Colorado, USA Nov 21, 2008 Draught: so I was pleasantly surprised with this one as I was really in the mood for a beer. A bockish, malty flavor dominates with a cream, slightly sweet finish. The combination of sweet with the malt made this chuggable. penguinjive7 (67), Buffalo, New York, USA Nov 21, 2008 Pours nice amber color with a thin tan head that dissipates quickly. There is little lacing to speak of.
The smell is of bready malt.
The taste reflects the bready malt with a twinge of smooth caramel in the finish.
The carbonation is a bit on the heavy side, but not oppressive. This brew goes down very smoothly and clings a bit from the heavy malt.
Overall this is a pleasant harvest brew that is very easy to drink and have several of. There is not all that much to it and is rather one dimensional, but well worth the purchase as a fall staple.
Reviewed on: 10-22-2008 kegmeister (25), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Nov 20, 2008 Overall this was my favorite Octoberfest beer of the season. Very consistent. Good malty taste. Almost creamy texture. Smooth and very drinkable.
