| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 31, 2007 orange copper color with a medium sized head. strong malty orange aroma with light soy sauce note, and a good roasted quality. soft chalky body and light full bubbles. complex honey maple flavor and a light yeast flavor. the beer is a lot easier drinking than it looks and smells. legion242 (1577), Richardson, Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Aug 29, 2007 PLeasent enough, but would love to try it very fresh or on draught, ’cause I get the feeling that something is missing. LinusStick (1831), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 25, 2007 Wow...this is on a whole different level than all of the American Oktoberfests I’ve had. Pour was an inviting light brown with a nice 2 finger head (there’s the heady Oktoberfest I’ve been looking for). Aroma of sweet malt with some roastiness...some dampness and funk in there as well. Taste was nice and malty with a humid mix of caramel, honey and roast. Nice carbonation. This is the first German Oktoberfest I’ve had this year and if the others are half as good I’ll be impressed. alafito (334), tijuana, Mexico
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 13, 2007 Typical Marzen brew, a bit more sugary sweet than most with some roasted malts. Lots of caramel and honey tastes. A low hop profile with some light fruitiness added. Med-to low carbonation with some light yeast in the finish. I really must try these German Brews straight from the brewery some day... im guessing the long trip doesnt do them much good. zappafan99 (462), South Carolina, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 9, 2007 Peppery lips follow an apple malt. Really picturesque. More complex the more I drink. Bitter is pleasant. Just not a taste I would want often. EEhhh... swoopjones (1896), Buffalo, New York, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 12, 2007 This beer pours a deep golden amber with a medium white head that dissipates quickly leaving no lacing on the sides. This is your typical oktoberfest. There beer smells like your typical lager beer but the flavor is definitely better than that. Although I’m not a big fan of lagers or the oktoberfest berrs this is not that bad of a beer. I’m not sure i’d go out of my way to buy it but I might buy another just the same.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Jul 10, 2007 Updated: Aug 11, 2007Cloudy amber pour with an offwhite head. Smell of honey, malt, and yeast, with a creamy taste. mouthfeel is bubbly, and somehow almost a gritty aftertaste feel. Something distinct about the taste that I can’t place. Not bad, but not great. Somewhat of a sweet yeasty taste.
