Location: 12 oz bottle from jcos, 9/21/09

Aroma: Light bready/biscuity malt nose, light fruit
Appearance: Clear golden-orange pour, almost no head
Flavor: Malty up-front, and a semi-sweet fruity flavor follows
Palate: Light-medium, a little too much carbonation, a touch watery
Overall Impression: I’m surprised I hadn’t rated this one before. This is a decent beer, has some interesting flavors to it, kind of light of nose and a bit watery, but a decent taste. Overall, its average or just above, and drinkable. Nice seasonal beer to enjoy with a football game.

Draft half pint from Cooter Brown’s. Pours a clear dark gold with a 1/2" eggshell head. Aroma of fruit, hops, straw, mild spice. Flavor is the same, with the hops and straw up front. Smooth palate, light body. Feels to reserved for something with this name- where’s the ’fall’?

everything that kaggie said. i actually liked this beer. less oktoberfesty than others. not overly malty, just a regular beer, which served its purpose

Bottle. Pours an average cheddar orange with a slightly lively body and a thin but tall head of white. Aroma is malt biscuit and stale hops. Flavor is fresh hay and a touch of floral honey on top of a malted biscuit. Average mouthfeel. Not disgusting, but not worth more than a binge drink session.

Pours orangish light amber, but its cloudy and has a tall head thats nice. Aroma of sweet citrus and orange. Flavor is balanced with wheat malt and hops and has some citrus sweetness added. Mouthfeel is over carbonated a little bit but not too bad. Bite lingers on the tongue in the finish. A very appropriate beer for the time of year.
