| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 15, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Deep amber color with a small, pillowy, off-white head. Decent head retention.
Aroma: Mild toasted notes with a hint of caramel. Light nose.
Flavor: Some toast, a bit of grain, a decent hop prescience and some caramel notes. A decent interpretation.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium-short, malty finish.
Overall: Not a bad Oktoberfest and very sessionable. That being said, Victory has better beers and there are better examples of the style out there. inkubus27 (248), Highland, Indiana, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 13, 2009 Not my favorite oktoberfest, but this is a really good all around example... Medium to lighter mouthfeel... mild aroma of caramel and toasted nuts... Flavor has a tinge to it that’s distinctly oktoberfest... almost a spicy character... mildly effervescent... Good overall, and easy to drink italianjohn (346), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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 (1015), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | 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 (901), Barre, Vermont, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 11, 2009 Taster at Great Lost Bear - Poured a clear amber in color with a small off-white head that faded. 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 OK, but not great, Oktoberfest brew... basewars (145), Albany, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | 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 (121), USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | 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.
