| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 4, 2009 Tried on tap at Ginger man. I didn’t have very strong feelings either way on this one. robinvboyer (1436), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 6, 2008 slightly hazy dark golden pour with a nice white head. Big aroma of bready/biscuity malt, and some nice subtle hops. The flavour is so smooth, and soft, some wicked malt flavours, lots of breadiness, and some great roasted crust. A tinge of apple actually in the finish along with some more sweet malt. What a great example of this style, absolutely spot on! SoLan (1426), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 23, 2006 Dark amber. Small, dense, off white head. Aroma of lightly sweet, toasty caramel, a touch of honey, and subtle, crisp hops. Same flavor with more honey and more hops. Smooth, medium body. One of the best Oktoberfests I’ve had. drowland (1418), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 13, 2009 Light color for the style with a nice retaining head. Aroma and taste of malt and crackers, less sweet and caramelly than others. Hints of roasted malts. fredandboboflo (1417), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 18, 2008 Bottle. When I first sniffed this one, I immediately thought, "uh-oh, not gonna like it." Lots of dank hops, even more sweet malt. Flavor is the same, intensely rich and earthy with those malts. After my initial fear, however, I can’t help but appreciate all this glorious malt that never becomes cloying, and the fresh, leafy, dank hops that dance on top of it. While it may not be my thing, if it is your thing, seems like it’s one of the best there is, regardless which of a number of German styles we’re talking about. iwantalambic (1389), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2002 Nice tall head. I enjoyed this beer, nice sweet and spicy malt with a good bitterness, but I am not coming up with too many other ways to describe it, not sure if that means it just didn’t offer much or I can’t describe it. Still very nice. tytoanderso (1387), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Jul 2, 2007 Bottle. Pours slightly hazy orange/amber with a rich frothy head. Roasted malt and caramel sweetness on the nose. Dry roasted malt and dough-like dryness on the palate. Yeasty dryness dominates over the malt. Slightly watery and not as rich on the palate as the nose would lead me to believe. Decent, though. Finishes carbonated and fairly dry. Stine (1380), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 28, 2007 Tap at Pizzerria Paradiso. Golden, rusty orange color, and transparent. Some salty pungency on the nose and a wisp of garlic. Pears and apples in a caramel soak. Tinny flavor with the disposition of thin maple syrup. The subtle presence of toasted honey malt is chewy enough to leave a firm smack of its sweetness, which lasts a while. Crisp fruit flavors and hushed floral tones provide accent. Watery texture with a sharp carbonation bite; it could stand for more density. Fitting; a refreshing autumn quaffer.
