ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA Sep 20, 2009 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. DBob5150 (31), Kansas City, Missouri, USA Sep 19, 2009 Pretty standard Märzen fare. Nice amber color, medium head. Enjoyable, not remarkable. Would try again trayns (237), Beverly Hills, Michigan, USA Sep 19, 2009 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. Fratto (670), Arlington, Texas, USA Sep 18, 2009 Not a bad beer, but I like other Oktoberfest brews so much better. Came in a glass with a tuba on it. Score. WisconsinBeer (514), St Paul, Minnesota, USA Sep 17, 2009 Green bottle. Pale brownish orange color, thin foamy head. The bottle in the picture is brown, but this is not. Bummer. Came from a 12 pack(cardboard box) so presumably not much light got in. Flavor is slightly sweet, with notes of mild roast and bread. Medium bodied with the trademark slightly metallic finish of the German hops. Doesn’t seem skunked, luckily. Pretty passable Oktoberfest, one of my favorite versions from Germany. l1br4r14n (274), Washington, Washington DC, USA Sep 17, 2009 This might’ve been a nice beer, hard to say. The green bottle kind of ruined things. Aroma was all skunk, flavor was mostly skunk with a bit of malt and yeast peaking through. Too bad. KnN (712), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Sep 17, 2009 Death by green bottle. Pours a pale copper with a thin white head. Aroma was skunk through and though with a hint of malt and bread. Flavor was also skunked. I’d like to try this one again in a brown bottle. fluffy (229), Florida, USA Sep 14, 2009 pours amber gold with an effervescent head. aroma is malty and nutty. flavor is toffeel, toasted grains and little tangy. flavor is somewhat hoppy and finishes clean. pretty good.
