Pours copper-amber with a thin tan head. Smells like tea, caramel, Vienna and Munich malts. Interesting herbal flavor with the Vienna and Bavarian malts clearly there. Flavor was toasty with a descent hops presense. Palate is pretty thick surprisingly. Pretty nice Oktoberfest.

does not count  Sep 6, 2008 12 oz bottle. Thin in taste, lacking the maltiness of a true Oktoberfest. I’m surprised this is 6% alcohol. I’m a big fan of Weyerbacher but dissapointed with this one.

Sep 4, 2008 Had on tap. Pours a nice brown color with a small head. I picked up a ton of cinamon in the head. This was a very sweet and bready. I liked it and thought it was a very good American style October.

Aug 24, 2008 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Hazy caramel color with flat head. Mild sweet yeasty caramel aroma. Sweet mildy toasty caramel flavor with giveaway ale fruitiness and sweet finish. Medium body and carbo. Not sure what the purpose of another inferior Oktoberfest knockoff is. But what they hey, it’s not bad. When I picked it up I though it might be an autumn fresh hop beer, but I figured out before I bought it that it was a psuedo-Oktoberfest by a non-lagering micro. Eh, I tried it anyway. But, really, why? I mean there are for too few porters out there. Why not do that instead?

Aug 21, 2008 clear rusty-orange beer under large creamy off-white head. malty aroma with hints of toasted grain and the slightest touch of toffee. flavors of toasted grains and nice buttery toffee. smooth and medium bodied.

Aug 21, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a deep reddish-amber, white fluffy head. Aroma is a flowery hop on top of a bready, toffee malt. Clean toasten munich malt smell. Flavor is a sweey caramel, toffee, toasted grains. Very full flavored. Easy to sit back and enjoy the fresh taste of Märzen bier. Overall, the color throws you off for style. The taste on the other hand... spot on. Delicious! Prost!
