| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 29, 2005 10.29.05 500ml bottle. Dark amber-copper pour with small, fading off-white head of tight bubbles. Aroma is fruity, raisins, big-time malts, a touch salty. Sweet toasted bread and lightly floral. Wonderful medium-full body. Finishes just dry enough to leave you wanting another sip. No wonder this stuff is always sold out when I think I’ve found it on tap, it’s delicious. whaleman (2171), North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 22, 2003 Frosted honey color with streaming jets of carbonation. Sweet buttery malt aroma. Malty, wort-like backbone with a wheaty flavor and body. Flavor is reminiscent of shredded wheat with honey and even some nuts thrown in. A fresh tasting beer with many elements suggesting a harvest – apropos for an Oktoberfest. BDR (2162), Roseville, Minnesota, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 21, 2007 Big malt aroma with some spicy hop notes, dry pumpkin, pale fruits and pie crust. The body is a murky brown/orange and holds a diminishing tan head that starts a thumb thick. Sweet malt fore has a little butterscotch candy, sweetbreads, honey brushed dough and buttery sweet potatoes. Very nice and easy drinking. EithCubes (2146), Indiana, USA

Lovely nose, rich pale malt with caramel overtones and lots of lovely spice. Touch of grass and light, perky citrus. Clear golden with a rocky off-white head. Taste is tart and lightly acidic, spicy lightish bread with clear German hops and a soothing, soft body. Soft water. Touch of toast edging toward smoke. Light-medium body, but a rich malt base. Super, one of the best, and thankfully, relatively easy to find. Silphium (2137), Haslett, Michigan, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 26, 2003 Wow, this is one complex Oktoberfest. Pours yellow-orange, with a medium white head. Bready caramel aroma, with alcohol notes evident. Rich and luscious flavor: bready caramel with strong mustiness, light fruitiness that becomes sweet and notable as the beer warms, and alcohol notes. Almost reminiscent of an amber ale. Nicely carbonated. A delicious example of the style. blutt59 (2119), Dallas, Texas, USA
