mctous (119), Herndon, Virginia, USA Oct 5, 2007 The malt aroma seems authentic enough, but the pour lacks the expected firmness and hop lacing. A clean malt flavor is let down by somewhat harsh hops. Festbier lacks the complexity to compete with the best German Marzens. jeremytoni (1072), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Oct 4, 2007 From a bottle poured amber with little head. Nice full malty flavor with spice. Good finish. brewblackhole (1367), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA Oct 3, 2007 Toasty ,cereal malt, just like an authentic German Oktoberfest should smell like crisp clean malts in taste, with just a hint of candy sucker sweetness,drys out in finish with a lingering hop bitterness in finish,which actually becomes a little aggressive towards the middle of your glass clueo (112), Pennsylvania, USA Oct 2, 2007 This beer smells a bit like honey and raisons. It is milky bronze in color and has a very small head. The flavor is sweet with a nice clean finish. An enjoyable Oktoberfest!! JFURYCAT (782), East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 1, 2007 Nothing overpowering here but it has a nice smooth feel, toffee caramel fruit, straw, and a little hoppy pinch in its end. Some carbonation is present in the finish. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 30, 2007 Date: 09/29/2007

Goodgrief (1147), Middletown, Delaware, USA Sep 30, 2007 Nov 2005 - Poured orangish, coppery color with nice fluffy head. Aroma and flavor was sweet malts and caramel. Very sweet with slight hop finish. Pretty good tailgating brew! elmatador00 (518), j-action-ville, North Carolina, USA Sep 29, 2007 Pours a clear dark golden color with a quick diminishing head. Has a heavy syrup texture, with hints of spice and light citrus fruits. Finished with a light hoppy taste. Reminded me of apple juice.
