| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 18, 2006 Cooper colored beer with a beige head. Aroma is straight forward malty, bready. Flavor is lightly fruity with a light bread flavor. Pretty boring stuff. Stine (1380), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 8, 2006 Updated: Aug 7, 2008Amber colored brew. Quite sweet like caramel on the nose with almost no bitterness. Subtley woody. Easy to put back with a smooth, sweet malt crunch. Spot on. Somewhat non-descript, but stylistically flawless.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 8, 2005 On tap at the ABR ’05. A plain offering from these guys that we know are capable of producing super beers. Sweet malt flavor, but on the light side as as whole. Gold color. Lacks body. burcusabrews (106), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 27, 2004 Deep cloudy ruby orange with no head. Aroma of apricot and strawberry fruit roll-up. Very sweet, even for an O-fest. Tasted prune juice notes. Very ordinary O-fest would not distinguish itself in a blind taste-testing with others in this style obisbeer (558), Barcelona, Spain
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Sep 24, 2004 Deep amber with no head. WIth an aroma of Strawberry fruit rollups, hey we all agreed that night! Medium weight with a sweet tasting dry finish. Flavors of cherry, wood, candy, and on the finish some hops. Great O-fest beer! badgerben (3600), Blaine, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 24, 2004 Dark amber color with no head. An almost fruity aroma, very odd for an Oktoberfest. The taste is again odd: slightly sweet with some hops mixed in. A tad smokey. A very strange mix for an Oktoberfest, but it manages nicely. robertsreality (2460), Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 24, 2004 Lightly Deep Amber Coloring.....Good White Head. I Found This To Be an Enjoyable and Very Drinkable Oktoberfest Brew. Small Amounts of Spice and Hops...Although I Didn’t
Notice Until Wawood Mentioned it and I Really Concentrated.. Very Low Key Overall...but That in Itself, I would Agree...Can be a Good Thing. ElGaucho (1730), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Sep 24, 2004 Faint malty Marzen aroma. Smells very similar to other German marzens I’ve had. Beautiful dark amber color with red and yellow hues. Off white, frothy head. Beautiful streaky lace. Avg. sized head, but good retention. Flavor is soft and cask-like. Served a little warmer. Session quality. Faint hops in the finish which are only barely detectable to the trained palate. However, it is a feature that really sets this brew above other O’Fests. Captured the essence of an unpasteurized German cask O’Fest. I would be perfectly happy drinking several masses of this stuff in a Munich Oktoberfest beer tent.
