12 oz. bottle. Pours a light brown with an off-white head. Aroma was a little skunk and a little malt, bread. Taste like a cross between a Heineken and an Octoberfest. Not bad but not high on my list.

12 oz. bottle from Arnold’s in Cincinnati. Pours orange brown, slightly cloudy, with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, bread, grass, earth, generic German beer funk. Flavor is more of the same. Sweet, earthy, grassy, slightly bitter, with funk and metallic notes. Might be all right in the right environment, but this one doesn’t do much for me.

Copper color with a malty aroma. Complex rich flavors that echo the aroma. Sweet, but not in a caramelly/toffee way like so many other Octoberfests. Well balanced and fairly light, though the richness would not make this one for all day drinking. Finishes cleanly. You can almost taste the pretzels.........

Sampled at Lundeen’s Brew Ha-Ha 2009. Pours a deep orange color with a very spare off-white head. Aroma has a bready character with some caramel malt notes, toffee sweetness, grassy, flowery and herbal hops note. Flavor has an apple and grape sweetness, a strong hay note and a metalic ending. Body was good but the texture was very thin with a lively carbonation. Just not too good and a bit disappointed in a "true" German oktoberfest beer.

An average octoberfest... Caramel notes with a little toffee... Very bitter finish with an average palate. Just average, I have had better octoberfests.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber/brown color with a miniscule off white head. Nose is light nutty roast and sweet malts and a hint of dirt. Palate is full and clean. Flavor is nutty, dirty, malty but clean and crisp and kinda nice.
