| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 21, 2008 On tap at the Biergarten Restaurant in Epcot, Disney World. A dark amber with a decent sized white head in the huge 1L mug it was served in. At first, tasted very similar to Optimator, with the dark roasted, bready malt flavor coming through. As it warmed, it got a little fruitier and the sweet malt came out. A good beer, but maybe not one I’d return to anytime soon. fredandboboflo (1395), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 19, 2008 On tap at the Biergarten Restaurant in Disney World. Sort of like Optimator Lite. Lots of sweet, bready malt notes, sort of a mixture of pale and roasted. Hops aren’t really highlighted, just there to give all that sweetness a backbone. Very nice. Bragesnak (2257), Aarhus, Denmark

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 30, 2008 Bottle. Poured very clear copper with a tall, frothy, off-white head that leaves light lacing. The aroma finds fruits and light spices with a malty background. The flavor has caramel malts backed with hops and hints of spices and fruits. Medium body, smooth texture, and sweet throughout. (Rating from Sept ’07) Bhops (331), Dallas, Texas, USA

Strong malt flavor with a mild hop finish. Pretty decent for an oktoberfest. spikester (602), Salem, Oregon, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 20, 2008 Aroma is minor, inoffensive.
Pours amber from the green glass 12 oz. bottle with a modest head and lacings.
Flavor is sweet malts, bitter dry hops, dry finish. The abv of 5.9% is apparent.
Some in the taste.
Malts are sweet and roasted for a rich taste. It has just enough character to keep you from just swilling it. Very drinkable beer, very refreshing.
All told a great session beer if your budget would allow. Surprised that it wasn’t skunky due to the green bottle.

A nice medium amber color. It’s flavor is hop and malt balance, with a bit of sweetness perhaps imparted by the yeast. Very refreshing, could drink this all night.
