3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours gold ish orange with nice off white head. Nose is mostly amber caramel malt, sort of bready. That taste is very pleasant for an oktoberfest, a bit musty caramel malt with a really nice softly sweet finish. Familiarly simple and it gets easier to drink the more you have had.

Bottle. Yellow orange pour with a smaller white head. Aroma and taste was very malty - caramel and bread. Decent.

12oz bottle from Platte City Olive or Twist. Pours clear copper with a well-fed fizzy white head. Aroma is lightly-roasted nuts, fresh earth, and caramel. Flavor is exactly as you’d expect from an Oktoberfest, lightly sweet, highlighting caramel/crystal malts and just a touch of hops. The only thing holding this beer back is a slightly odd finish, with a bit too much metallic zing. Otherwise, quite nice!

12 oz bottle from Brothers - Pours a lightish brown/red color with a nice white head. Smells a bit sweet with a strong malty aroma. Not a lot of hops coming through, but the malty flavor is quite good. A bit sweet. Very smooth beer. Nice.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
On draft at Ike’s in the Minneapolis Airport. Orange in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas are a mix of grainy malt, and a bit of fatter pale malt. Flavour profile begins malty sweet with a touch of caramel before finishing crispy and dry.Light bodied for the style. Fairly drinkable stuff, but lacking in intensity
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Roasty and nutty flavors. You can taste the alcohol unlike most other Oktoberfests. Lingering aftertaste. Not awful but definitely not my favorite of the style.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A nice and smooth taste with roasty, nutty malt flavors. Hints of spice and perhaps a bit of citrus zest along with some hops in the finish.
