aubreya (676), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Dec 1, 2007 Pour: golden w/darker amber hues. Head: thick, creamy, foamy, white. Aroma: caramel malt, sweet, some alcohol, malty, bready. Flavor: sweet, caramel malt, somewhat earthy, malty, bready. Palate: lively. Finish: clean. awaisanen (1279), Irvine, California, USA Nov 13, 2007 From a 500mL Bottle. Pours a transparent brassy amber color with a thick head of soapy off-white. Sweet, bready malt nose with notes of toasted bread crusts, grainy bran muffin, and brazil nut flesh. No estery characters, but displays that clean, almost metallic nose common to many lager yeasts. Light bodied, with a shimmering carbonation that creates a melting, soft texture to the lagery dryness of the beer. Delightful malty flavors of nutty caramel, devoid of any unnecessary sugar sweetness. Bready, biscuity, nutty, baked muffin flavors, with only a gentle kiss of spicy hops in the final smack. Classic o-fest; meets every expectation. Angeloregon (2024), Portland, Oregon, USA Nov 12, 2007 From a 500ml bottle--Poured a deep tawny-orange color with a robust and bustling head that soon disipated. Bready, grainy nose. Chewy mouth feel with full flavored hops and malts balance. Slightly spicy and noticeably sweet. This is what an Oktoberfest should taste like, I suppose. douglas88 (1556), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Nov 11, 2007 500ml bottle. Pours a orangeish hue, with a powerful frothy head that dies down after a few minutes. The taste is smooth and easy; a soft malty sweetness, some bitterness and floral hops, and some spice. A good drink. Easy and tasty. Slinger (91), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Nov 10, 2007 Pours light orange-nice white foamy head. Floral and clovey spices. Much better in flavor than scent. DaMenace123 (250), Houston, Texas, USA Nov 4, 2007 Aroma is malty and nutty. Flavor is nutty, smooth, creamy malt. Slightly bitter to add balance. Good Oktoberfest. jobyone (234), Charlotte, USA Nov 1, 2007 Pours Amber color with off white head. Aroma has a bit of malt sweetness. Taste is a nice balance of sweetness, and malt with a slighlty bitter finish. One of the best Oktober fest beers for sure. mvcramer (229), Arlington, Massachusetts, USA Oct 30, 2007 Celebrated with this one while watching the Red Sox World Series parade. A fine beer for a great moment and a great team.
Pours a beautiful copper/golden color with a thick foamy off-white (almost tan) head. Absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful malty notes and a sweet malty flavor that is exquisite on your palate. Loved it. If you look at my other reviews of Ayinger beers, you’ll see that I’m a huge fan of their brews. This one is no exception. Highly recommended.
