| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 5, 2007 The sum is not quite equal to the parts. The aroma and taste is good, but something is just lacking. Very flat. Vav (13), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 4, 2007 I’d call this one average across the board. Average taste especially...not too spicy nor dull. Slightly skunky nose. mikey (336), farmington, Utah, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 4, 2007 Poured a nice orange/amber color with a decent white foam head. The nose was sweet with nutty malts as well as a light citric hop twang. The taste started with some sweet caramel and nutty notes with a distinct fruitiness throughout. The finish was dry and had a good spicy/citric hop presence. This was a pretty decent autumn beer. It wasn’t exciting in any way, but worth a try. sneezey (110), Hackettstown, New Jersey, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 2, 2007 Yet another good Spaten product - solid malty flavor comes through with little else around it. Miss a bit of the Bavarian character others have, but still entirely respectable beer. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

sweetness fades quite a bit once it reaches room temp but still the rich carmel malt

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 30, 2007 On draft at the Saucer. Pours a deep copper with a lasting off-white head. Aroma dominated by lightly kilned malts. Taste is sweet with caramel, balanced by noble German hops with herbal/minty character. Very satisfying. riversideAK (2664), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 30, 2007 Notes of caramel malts and a little nuttiness in the nose. Pours amber in color. Very malt forward with flavors of caramel and a little roast followed by a sweet breadiness. Finishes crisp. A very good oktoberfest bier. tagz (334), USA
