Golden-orange in colour, very thin white coloured head, no lacing. The aroma is mildly sweet, some citrus, caramel and bread. The flavour is of light floral hops, some caramel malts, cookies and bread. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes with a floral hop bite, lightly sweet. Not bad, a bit more enjoyable then the Bells Octoberfest just had.

Jul 9, 2008 Updated: Jul 10, 2008Bottle... This beer rocks!... Hazy golden/orange lager with a mid-sized, wispy, short-lived, white head. Rich, buttery, toasted caramel aroma. Full-bodied with an intense, high viscosity mouthfeel and calm carbonation. Big time caramel with just enough of a hop addition to allow me to enjoy all the rich, hearty caramel malt without having to endure dizzying sweetness. Finishes modestly sweet, thick and caramelly. Best Märzen experience to date. This world class malt bomb was provided by scubarex!

Jul 9, 2008 Courtesy tpd975. Pours hazy copper to gold with weak tan head. The aroma is mild with some sweet maltiness, some spices, a sweet fruity mix of notes, some earthiness and grains. The taste is much the same only it seems sweeter with sugar sweet malts moving into some grains, spices, light melded fruity notes of grapes, figs and plums. Pretty nice but a bit on the sweet side for me.

Jul 4, 2008 Thi is a tough one for me becasue I don’t typically appreciate octoberfest beers. The taste is crisp and full. If this was sold nationally it would do very well. It’s like a really good sam adams.

Jul 2, 2008 Bomber. Pours a nice deep golden almost bright orange with a nice thin white head.. Aroma is toasted malts, doughy, a bit of cracker and cobwebs and a light herbal hop tone. Flavor is doughy , nuttty , bread, cracker, vienna malts, light citrus, and some earth and leathery hops. Ok vienna lager- nice and malty whcih I liked Surprisingly good for a lager from a mostly hoppy ale brewery.
