Gypsy19 (604), California, USA Oct 15, 2008 The nose of this beer is dead, however it makes a pleasant comeback in the way of apricot marmalade and honey flavor. Good carbonation and finish too. Could’ve been a little stronger alcoholically, but drinkable nevertheless. Good overall. Narnad (682), Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA Oct 15, 2008 Pours from the bottle a very nice amber color with almost no head and medium carbonation. Aroma is very sweet like apples with some moderate roasted aroma with some caramel. Flavor is very appley up front and moves into toffee flavor with a bit of roastedness to round it out. Overall an ok beer. WeeHeavySD (2942), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Oct 15, 2008 Tap @ Porter’s Pub. overall a pretty tasty oktoberfest brew, better than expected, with some nice rich malts. Joakgust (320), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 14, 2008 Bottle, 33cl - A clear amber beer with a disappearing off white head. The aroma is filled with roasted malts, caramel and some fruitiness. Flavor is malty and slightly sour with hints of spices. Aroma gets one hoping for a real good beer, unfortunately the flavor fails a bit. Pretty good October nonetheless. Maverick34 (690), New York, USA Oct 12, 2008 Draft. Actually not a bad offering from the ol’ BBC. A bit too bland because the sweet predominates but otherwise not too awful. Drinkable. pandashaver (6), , Alabama, USA does not count Oct 12, 2008 Moderate aroma of malt, carmel, and candy corn over breadiness.
Poured a deep, transparent orange/brown...very festive. Head is fizzy, not large, little lacing, and not lingering.
Dominant malty sweetness in the flavor, with only a very lighty bitter hop flavor.
A light syrup character on the palate that sticks around for a little bit.
Definitely a great complement to some good grub. ajolly2 (123), USA Oct 12, 2008 I’m a novice to the Octoberfest style, but this one seems to be a good example. Pours amber with a copper tinge; fairly complex in the mouth; nice balance of malts with some fruity sweetness; could be a little less clean in the mouthfeel and aftertaste. Overall it’s very good for the price, and I’ll probably buy a 6-pack of it since it’s autumn anyway. joeymacaroni (181), West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 11, 2008 pours deep amber-copper with a thick, quickly dissipating off-white head. not much lacing. aromas of caramel apple, malt, toffee. flavor is kinda thin, with malt, toffee and caramel being the only thing i taste. aftertaste is malty and i’m not too crazy about the taste it leaves. too malty, not enough balance. not my kind of oktoberfest.
