shrubber85 (2826), Wallhalben, Germany Apr 28, 2007 Bottle. Sweet corn syrup malt aroma. Reddish amber with nice big head. Initially a corn syrup malt sweetness with a mild hops finish. A bit too sweet for the style imho but otherwise a decent beer. CaptainCougar (5374), Rockville, Maryland, USA Feb 1, 2007 Updated: Feb 2, 2007Bottle sampled in May 2006: Pours a clear copper bronze with a thin wispy white head. Aroma of earthy toasty caramel malt and authentic noble hops. Body starts lightly sweet and malty with a good mild bitter hoppy balance. Very drinkable and fairly authentic. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA Dec 9, 2006 12 oz bottle from Woodmans on Gammon Road, Madison WI (October 2006) consumed from a Fitgers pint glass at cellar temperature. Warm whisky-gold color with a lasting creamy off-white head and a nice bit of lacing....pumpkin, caramel and cinnamon in the fine spicy nose, this is more like a pumpkin ale than anything else but I’m not complaining, light doughy yeast adds some depth, a delight....body isn’t able to keep up to the standards set in the aroma alas but there’s a decent malt depth, moderately sweet and lightly bready at the front, dry and somewhat dull towards the finish, dry and fairly strongly filtered mouthfeel, decent carbonation level. Overall I was pretty impressed with this -- much better than the other 2 in this line. Brewski4Me (5), Nebraska, USA does not count Oct 16, 2006 Amber orange in color. Some head with a nose lending itself to the likeness of a very light hopped but malty beer. Went down smooth enough but without a lot of overpowering flavor you can get from better Oktoberfest beers. 11thMan (20), Dennison, Minnesota, USA Oct 10, 2006 For a low cost oktoberfest ($5.99 a six pack) this one is not too bad. It is very smooth and drinkable. Slight aromas of grain and hops, but mostly just a smooth amber lager. jpm30 (1588), East Central, Georgia, USA Sep 10, 2006 From a 12 oz. twist cap green bottle with no freshness date, but I know this is the fall ’06 version.
Poured a clear copper with a foamy white head that settled into a thin, slightly sudsy lacing.
Aromas of grassy hops, lightly toasted grain, subtle fruity and caramel.
Moderate carbonation and a malty crisp, smooth light bodied mouthfeel.
Pleasant Oktoberfest tasting, but average overall, toasted grain and sour fruity, a sweet, lightly caramel malty, hints of sugariness from the malts as well, earthy, grassy hops, a very soft bitterness and a dryish hoppy and malty finish, affordable and passable drinkability.
An average Oktoberfest, a bit light and malty thin, but at a very affordable price.
JK (2943), Richfield, Minnesota, USA Jun 25, 2006 Light brown. Simple malt aroma and lightly sweet malt flavor. No flaws but there is nothing to enjoy either. Less flavorful than a good oktoberfest.
