COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Seductively smooth, this medium-bodied amber beauty is akin to the great Oktoberfest beers of Munich. All German hops make this lager true to style. Patient cold aging makes it wonderfully smooth. In bottles September through February

BeerHawk (1590) - Huntsville, Alabama, USA - OCT 11, 2009
Bottle. Poured copper with an off-white head that settles quickly. Aromas of grain, caramel, and spice. The flavor is much the same with a maybe just a hint more malts coming out. Medium body and a spice aftertaste.

alobar (1866) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 11, 2009
Amber caramel color with no head. Not much aroma either. Some malts and a bit of caramel. Flavor of toasted malts, bread, and a bit of caramel. Kind of bland for Victory.

VTHopHead (1340) - Barre, Vermont, USA - OCT 11, 2009
UPDATED: SEP 17, 2010 Poured a clear reddish-amber in color with a small off-white head that faded, but left a cream covering over the beer. Aroma is malty and slightly sweet with just a hint of hops. Flavor is of bready yeasts, slightly sweet maltiness and a small amount of spicy hops. An decentOktoberfest brew...

basewars (167) - Albany, New York, USA - OCT 9, 2009
Bottle. Pours amber with off white head. This is malty, but nondescript. Just sweet. Some hoppiness. Not bad. I’m never impressed by Oktoberfests, but this is actually a decent one.

Tanker12 (170) - USA - OCT 9, 2009
A few malts on the aroma but not much. Flavor is thin with a few malts and some Carmel. this beer is not much to write home about. Amazed they can get away with charging so much for it.

BeerGestapo (754) - Mt.Joy, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 8, 2009
Brewed in the USA... Pours amber in color with super thin white head and some mild carbonation. Aroma of caramel, spices, malts and bread. Taste of sweet malts, warm bread, mild spices and some grains. Mouthfeel is kind of sweet at first then becomes dry at the finish, This is a pretty good Oktoberfest brew !!!!

Soonah (1120) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA - OCT 7, 2009
Poured amber and clear with a short white head and spotty lacing. The aroma was dominated by sweet, chewy malts and light spice. The flavor was tons of malts, sugars and a touch of spice. Possibly some floral or pine notes towards the end. Thin body with a lingering finish. OK.

12oz bottle. Pours clear amber with a quickly disappearing head. Heavy floral taste and a tad on the sweet side. Average.
