Sep 16, 2006 Autumn in a glass, as a lot of these beers of this style are. Body is orange with red and brown, like a bag of leaves. Smell is faint spices, heavy malt. Decent flavor, actually a little heavy for the style. Malt throughout, could use a little dryness. Not a bad beer.

Sep 16, 2006 Nice brown color with light, malty aroma. Taste is sweet, malty and smooth. Good to average overall, but definately better than most Oktoberfests. These brews make the colder weather a bit more tolerable.

Sep 15, 2006 Clearance barrel at Binny’s, Glen Ellyn,IL. Bottle. Some sweetness in the nose and some mold? No lace, small head that is fully diminishing. I tried to check the "best by" date, but it was in white lettering and was stamped over the white "F" in "Festbier" on the label, so couldn’t read it. Moldy, carboard flavor with some zing. Probably old. Not very good. Disappointing effort by Victory. A brewer with the reputation of Victory can’t afford to put out a lackluster product like this. Malty with no hops.

Sep 12, 2006 Couldn’t detect a real distinct aroma. Slightly sweet. Poured a nice rich amber color. Virtually zero head. Was hoping for a little more maltiness or character in the flavor. It was an ok beer but for the price, I could have done better. Victory makes much better brew than this.

Sep 12, 2006 12 oz bottle: Pours a deep reddish brown color with a cola like carbonation in its large bubbles that go away as soon as the pour finishes. Aroma is malty caramel, but nothing much like the entire beer.

Sep 11, 2006 Updated: Oct 2, 2006Re-rated on tap at the Legend Fest:
Clear light brown body with a thin off-white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Sweet dark malt and caramel flavor.
Original Rating: Aroma had some cheesy hints, and the flavor was dominated by a powdered cheese flavor, very much like that in a box of mac and cheese. Possibly some sort of infection, but i’ve yet to experience a cheesy infection.
5/3/5/3/9
