| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 12, 2007 On tap, 9/11/07. Deep amber color with somewhat quick dying foam that leaves decent lacing. Aroma is lots of Vienna malt. Flavor is malt, malt and more malt, just a little hint of spiciness form the hops in the finish. Very drinkable, spot on carbonation, near silky mouthfeel. I think they have really cleaned this beer up from about 5-6 years ago when it when damn near Helles in color and flavor. Mark that down as one thing In-Bev has managed to do right. clasley (153), Arkansas, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 10, 2007 Pours an autumnal reddish orange into a shaker. Offwhite conglomerate head quickly pancakes with no lacing. Malt aromas. Crisp and slightly sour and vegetal with a lasting malty spice finish. Wanted to like this one more...really enjoyed the Spaten house at Octoberfest... blindeyedbetty (151), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 9, 2007 12 oz. bottle, poured a clear copper colorwith tight head. Aroma of malty wet dog. Not sure why that is, but it’s not a very pleasant aroma. Malty taste with bready middle and light, crisp hoppy finish. Palate is substantial for a lager without being too heavy. This would be a great beer with some of the heavier flavored foods of the fall, beef, garlic mashed potatoes or even a caesar salad. This beer can hold it’s own without overpowering the taste of a more robust and flavorful food. yobdoog (1431), Woodridge NY, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 9, 2007 Light brown with little yellow arange glow. Airy head, small, retains. Sweet malt and pine aroma. Light warm orange like they sat in the sun on the tree. Woody but maybe not pine.Nice spice and malt taste. Little clove and allspice, some cinnimon hints. Some hop bitterness lingers. Smooth, quick, mouthfeel not much, goes down fast. Some alcohol on taste and tastes ike fall in a glass (J). fattibobatti (246), Tallahassee, Florida, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 8, 2007 Spaten makes some pretty badass brews, this one is no exception. Hazy pour, malty, surprisingly easy to drink. Maybe my favorite okt.
