12oz bottle: Skunk and malt aroma, thin. Lacking that special something that makes a really good oktoberfest bier. Disappointing, but I guess I’ll drink it anyway. I’d rather have Ayinger’s about now..

Aug 14, 2008 12 oz bottle. My girlfriend (Tripplebrew) summed it up perfectly, Oktoberfest is on the shelves, but I’m still using the A/C in my car, and summer is nowhere near over yet. This should be a FALL beer! Anyway, I still LOVE IT. Pours an amberish yellow color. Flavor is bready caramelized malts. Medium bodied, somewhat sticky on the palate. Finish is mild lingering stickiness, just like Halloween candy! Can’t get enough of this stuff.

Aug 9, 2008 So August just began and already there is oktoberfest...that is just wrong, especially when it means come November 1 all oktoberfest is off the shelves. gar.
Well, the beer pours a clear amber/copper with thick cream-tinted head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is wheat and malts and earthy grass. It is a very clean bready/earth aroma. Flavor is bready, malts and notes of sweetness (caramel). Carbonation is fair and body medium-light. For the U.S. it is a decent oktoberfest version.

Jun 17, 2008 Flavor of this beer is very earthy indeed. Pours a clear amber body with a thin white head. little to no lacing. Carmel, grass and asparagus in the aroma. Flavors are somewhat nutty. Very lightly carbonated mouthfeel. noticable almond flavor.

Apr 7, 2008 Filtered yellow amber body with a foamy white head. The aroma is typical Oktoberfest with sweet and acetic malts, husks, clean crisp o-fest smells, and floral hops. The flavor is also very good with a nice sweet sugary malt, floral hops, caramel, o-fest yeasts and kettle corn. Very well done. Acetic, lightly drying, carbonated, and has a subtle hop linger. Very nice! This beer’s quite underrated.

Feb 20, 2008 Pours light copper color with medium off-white head. Aroma is pretty weak, but light and pleasant, and consists primarily of sweet malts. Flavor is different than most other marzens...has the telltale sweet malt flavors, with some light chocolate accents mixed in, but there’s an odd bitterness mixed in that really doesn’t seem to jive well with the beer. The finish is relatively sweet, and there is a pretty nice body on the drink, but the odd bitterness took its toll...not my favorite from Summit
