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.

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.

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)

From bottle at my momma’s house. Sweet malty aroma, nice amber color, not much head. Strong malt flavor with a mild hop finish. Pretty decent for an oktoberfest.

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 beautiful beer, amber in color, superb bubbling, Nice complex aroma that reminds me of spring water, light malt,, a little spice and some good hops. The flavor is so good and balanced. I really enjoy this beer. Nice pleasing texture, good bite, and very refreshing with a clean finish.

Upon further review, this is very good.away. It has a nice malty aroma. 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.
