PorterPounder (2853), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Sep 26, 2005 Had on tap at the brewpub. Medium orange pour, light, crisp white head. Fairly decent lacing. Sweet, bubble gum-like aroma. Some ripening vegetable notes to start off - some pumpkin perhaps. Back end has some caramel notes and there is an ever present smokiness to this on that is appreciated and enjoyed. Decently thick mouthfeel. Very decent Oktoberfest.
nearbeer (1338), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Oct 9, 2008 Clear copper with a small creamy head. Aroma of caramel and slight corn. Flavor is similar with a light grain and apple touch. Light-medium body is tingly and dryish. BlackDonald (1039), North Carolina, USA Apr 6, 2008 This is what I call a big and tall beer. Large aromas of dark fruits, and a flavor that grabs you and will not let you go. Very malty with lots of earthy wood notes, slight hop bitterness in the finish, very drinkable. shp555 (1377), lilburn, Georgia, USA Jan 4, 2008 Pours a clear amber color with a white fluffy head. Aroma is sweet, malty, and caramel. Flavor is sweet caramel and a light spicy bitter finish. Cybercat (428), Georgia, USA Oct 28, 2007 Pours a dark honey-golden with a nice thick head. Aroma is quite strong and all malty. Flavor is rich and malty with a strong hint of spices. This ale is very smooth and pleasant, and the aftertaste is jazzy with a hint of hops. TheBeerOrg (1391), Kentucky, USA Oct 26, 2007 Updated: Oct 29, 2007Pours golden amber with a thin, mostly receding off-white head. Aroma of bread dough, crackery malts, and light caramel sweetness. Tastes of crisp toasted malt balanced, lightly sweetened crackers. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, with the perfect balance between sweet and dry. Moderate carbonation. As American brewers go, 5 Seasons has pretty much nailed the German session lagers.
