Good poor with nice head. Scent can be deceiving, good taste with nice aftertaste. Good beer to come home and have after work before dinner.

Malty sweetness mostly in aroma and flavor. A lot of nice bready notes. Just balanced out by the low bitterness.

the beer pours a clear pale orange color with a nice thick head to it. It has a sweet yet pale and bland aroma of nuts and fall spices. as you drink it, the flavors are a little spicy and mildly hoppy. it leaves a nice toffee flavor on the palate.

Aroma is very skunky. Flavor is smoky and a little spicy with hoppy finish and lingering bitter aftertaste. I would rate this as a decent Oktoberfest beer but not the best I have tried.

If it wasn’t for the skunk, this would be an incredible beer, but the skunk overpowers everything.

12 oz. with a " L15521M " bottling code. Pours a clear amber color with an off white head. Spicy gingerbread, yeasty smell. Medium bodied with a rich, creamy mouthfeel. Has a malty, bready sweet taste with a subtle Euro-hop essence to finish. Classic German. Oct 2004

Poured from draft at The Sanctuary (Iowa City, IA) into a conical pint glass. Color a very pleasant crisp amber. Head is minimal - this is my third beer here and maybe it’s The Sanctuary itself that is leaving me "Headless" : P. Smell is faint (perhaps also due to The Sanctuary). Smell vaguely of sweet malts. Inviting - No hops in smell. Let’s be blunt. I don’t like Marzen/Okt style beers. Very nice initial taste. Sharp roasted malts combat a small hop flavor. Balanced, but not completely. Roasted breaks way to carmelized flavor and a nice sweet undertone in the finish. Extremely enjoyable aftertaste.
