Oct 10, 2008 Bottled. Beautiful orange body light head very nice lacing. True to form smells of a german lager, muted. Obvious munich malts and subtle german hop presence. Crisp and refreshing, but a little too carbonated for me. Still better than a budweiser.

Oct 9, 2008 On tap @ home. This is a great Oktoberfest. Amber pour w/ thin just off-white head. Light maltiness in the nose, and slightly sugary across the palate. Grainy and dry. Very good.

Oct 9, 2008 On tap at Stone brewing World Bistro and Gardens.
Aroma: roasty toasty malt with a nice balanced hoppiness in the background. Pours clear amber/copper brown with nice semi-full off-white head. Flavor begins smooth and malty. Malt is fresh roasted and rich. Finishes with a nice flavor of almost fresh cut grass. Carbonation is nice and enjoyable, light to medium body. Drinkability is medium to high, One of the best Octoberfests out there. Really a good time of the year for this excellent beer!

Oct 8, 2008 Aroma is a light malty scent. Color is a bright clear amber with good carbonation and a thin head. Taste is malty and rich. Starting with a medium body it goes down crisp with a rich feel. Finish is a dry malt flavor. Not my favorite from Victory.

Oct 6, 2008 Poured a very clear orangish-copper with a very small and short lived head.
The nose was like most Octoberfests with heavy carmel and malt tones. Not overly hoppy.
The palate was thinner than most of this style. Water and somewhat refreshing. I typically like the think malty blanket of an Octoberfest so this wasn’t a quality I enjoyed. The lively carbonation on the other hand was quite nice.
The sweet carmel taste lasted through the whole sip and the finish was strong malt that faded quickly behind the carbonation.
Solid implementation of the style, but not the best from this brewer.

Oct 6, 2008 Draft @ Capones: Poured a copper orange with a thin head. The aroma is malty and nutty. The flavor was smooth, malty and just the right amount of hops. Overall, a tasty fest beer.
