blankboy (3165), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 17, 2006 Bottle. Pours a clear bubbly amber with an average size off-white head. Sweet aroma and flavour of grain, some fruit, malt and mild, slightly stale hops. Light bodied and bland. Tastes like a Lager and for a Victory beer it’s quite dissapointing. Just O.K. BrideOfFrankenkitty (44), Illinois, USA Jan 16, 2006 My first thought was "Oooh...this is pretty." Looked like iced tea and had a very weak aroma. For mouthfeel, again ice tea. I was hopeful when it was sour on the tip of my tongue, but overall it was bland. RedHaze (370), Where the hell am I?, Nebraska, USA Jan 16, 2006 Pours a clear orangey bronze color with tin 1/4 inch head that quickly disappears. The very thin ring that’s left behind leaves only minimal lacing.
Smell; nice bread dough and caramel maltiness with a mild herbal almost spicy aroma. Nice, but not as good as I was expecting.
Taste; pretty much follows it’s aroma. It has a solid caramel malt presence, and a little bit of the spiciness makes an appearance. There’s also a slight hop bite in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with fairly low carbonation. This is not the best O-fest by any means, but it’s still a decent stab at the style.
CMUBEERMAN (415), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jan 11, 2006 A pretty average okt-fest. Pours a muted red. Kind of tastes a bit oily ,but feels like water? Immy (1912), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Jan 4, 2006 12 oz bottle, best before date Dec 12. As it is Jan 4th, this is past it’s date, but not by much. Pours a orange color with decent off white head. No lacing. Nose is of fresh bread, a tad yeasty. Flavor is malty, with a bit of the yeast shown in the nose. Some caramel sweetness. Slightly sticky finish, with a wisp of bitter left behind. A pretty decent lager, but a fest it is not. Nice for a session or while watching a game. thehinge (244), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Dec 22, 2005 Aroma has some definite breadiness to it.
The pour is a honey color with a small white head. Has a malty, slightly sour taste to it. Nothing special xproudfoot (729), Paleolithic, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 12, 2005 fresh bread/doughy aroma. amber color, large sea foam head. tastes a bit like dough too, slightly sweet/sour. Pretty light on the flavor and palate, thin, somewhat watery. very easy finish. quite smooth, could drink this very fast. Nejhleader (924), Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 10, 2005 Orangish colour. flavor is a bit sweet, smooth. not too much of an aroma. overall pretty average.
