Flavor is moderately sweet caramel and some fruits. Medium body with soft carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. An excellent Oktoberfest brew. kevd193213 (486), Hope Valley, Rhode Island, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Oct 11, 2009 1 pt 9 oz bottle. Nice amber pour with a thick light tan head. Aroma of caramel malt. Fantastic taste of malt and sugar with that familiar Oktoberfest sharp finish. patrickfannon (299), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 10, 2009 Draft. Pours golden amber with a creamy, off-white head. Hoppy aroma, with hints of yeast, malt, spice, and wheat. Medium body with a weak finish. Sub-par Oktoberfest. Leighton (257), New York, New York, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 9, 2009 Exactly what I want an Oktoberfest beer to taste like. Pours a rich brown-gold with a lingering head. Malty aroma with slight hints of grain. Flavor is nice malt with a little hop, which balances out well. Smooth with a nice finish, sweet yet mildly bitter. Great stuff. spkldhenlvr24 (453), Newburgh/Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear deep golden body with an orange tint. Medium sized with head with some decent lacing. Really hard for me to pick this aroma out but I got a lot of cereal and malt with the smallest amount of yeast, fruit and hops. Crisp, smooth, mellow, full bodied mouthfeel. Nice balance of sweet malts with a slightly bitter finish. Very easy drinking beer. Really enjoyable. OldMrCrow (1184), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 5, 2009 Tap at some North Seattle bar and grill.
Pretty amber pour, pretty off-white head. Soft malty aroma with hints of fruit; lovely flavor of whole wheat just out of the oven, light orchard fruits, a decent hop touch in the close. Full-bodied rather than ultra-sesionable yet easier to quaff than 95% of the local stuff. Pretty darn classic. jasonp (1509), Sterling/Dulles, Virginia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours an attractive light copper with a frothy white head. Nose of rich caramel toastiness and noble hops. Notes of toffee, bread, toasty rich maltiness followed by balancing herbal, earthy hop character. The takeaway is pleasant, non-cloying malty sweetness. Very satisfying. Body is medium full, with soft carbonation. Great o-fest.
