Commercial Description:
Amber in color. This medium bodied beer has achieved its impeccable taste by balancing the roasted malt flavor with the perfect amount of hops. Having a rich textured palate with an underlying sweetness true to tradition.

Draught. Clear amber color, off-white head. Sweet malt, caramel, some grassy hops, and a bit fruity. A little too sweet for me.

Bottle. Pour was light to medium golden with a nice off white head. Aroma was crisp with light biscuit and a touch of hop. Flavor was clean and smooth with more bread character. Dry and refreshing with a well balanced hop flavor. Good brew.

pretty typical Oktofest. Sweet and malty with a nice shade of brown. Aroma was muted. Could have been a little drier for my palate.

Bottle, Refhills, Ncl. Very clean tasting dry lemon biscuit flavour. Cereal/wheat aroma, plenty of fizzy sherbert tingles around the mouth, with a decent creamy finish and apleasing bitterness.

Skunked mildew smell. Clear tea colored, thick head. Thin mouthfeel. Flavor is of light roasted skunked grain. A bit too sweet with a hint of bitter blueberries. Disjointed an rather unpleasant.

A pretty decent octoberfest, nice coloring and smell, but lacking a bit in taste.

Looks kind of like a Coke. Carmel colored, and no head. Aroma of fresh hops is a bit confrontational, and has no real character. Flavor is not bad, but also boring. I think the best thing about this beer is that it doesn’t suck.

Experienced on tap in a pub glass. The beer pours a medium amber color with a moderate and reasonably thick white head. The aroma brings some notes of floral hops, and some malt sweetness. However, it has an obvious lack of the level of malt character and complexity that is found in the best examples of the style. Far more Munich and Vienna malt would be of benefit. The palate shows a reasonable level of malt character, along with some balancing hops. At the same time, it lacks the complexity in terms of mouthfeel and flavor. Overall, a disappointment.
