Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer poured a dark caramel-amber color with a small beige head. The aroma was lightly sweet, tangy and malty with a touch of pear. The flavor was light caramel, tangy and malty with notes of ripe cherries and pears. The finish was medium length fruity caramel. Rather enjoyable.

I’ve had this countless times and not rated it, so it’s high time I rated it! Colour... orange-amber. Nose... sweet malt and an even balance of hops. Palate... plenty of C02, lightly chewy, nicely balanced between the roasty malt and hops, though not especially complex. I Like it on tap much better than the bottle.

Color: Dark reddish gold, clear, thin white head that lasts. Aroma: lager with hints of malt. Flavor: moderate malt sweetness, distinct lager. Light bodies, not hop bitterness. Not a big fan of this style, but I am trying them to better understand.

12oz bottle. Poured a dark golden color with a two finger soapy head. Smelled moslty of sweet malt with a hint of hops. Taste was mainly malt and grain with a hint of caramel, that finished with slight dry bitter hops. Would have expected more for a German Oktoberfest.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber and a medium white head. The aroma is a lot of malt and metallic notes behind slight hops. The falvor is smooth at first, nice malty body, but there is a nice bite towards the end. There is lacking body though, a little too thin.

Not a bad beer, but I like other Oktoberfest brews so much better. Came in a glass with a tuba on it. Score.
