The beer pours to a glowing orange copper body with a nice white head and spotty lacing. The aroma is bready, marzen’y. The flavor isn’t bad. Actually, it’s a decent marzen. Unfortunately, this is a style I don’t generally care for. Bready, light bitter hop, light bubblegum. The palate is medium-light bodied, refreshingly carbonated.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 7, 2006 Has a decent, strong malty aroma. Nice amber color with a frothy beige head. Bitter flavor, isn’t too pleasing. Decent body and a little carbonation. Overall, this isn’t too pleasing to me. Strykzone (1492), Wood River, Illinois, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 26, 2006 Reallly just an ok Oktoberfest. Beautiful looking beer. Copper colored with an orange head that lasts a while. Flavor begins bitter but that fades. Malts are evident but are somewhat subdued. ebarnes (213), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 8, 2006 12 oz bottle. Pours golden copper with almost no head. Taste was quite ale-y and seemed really flat. Don’t know if it was a bad bottle or not. Still not horrible, but I may have to re-visit. thedm (3836), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Dec 26, 2005 This bottled brew poured a small sized head of foamy fine to medium sized mostly lasting light brown colored bubbles that left behind a good lacing. The body contained average carbonation, was transparent and brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of good caramel malt . Its mouth feel is initially tingly smooth with a lingering slightly tingly palate and a caramel malt aftertaste. Its flavor contained mild caramel malt notes and it could have been better as I was somewhat disappointed by this brew. tiggmtl (4311), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 1/5 | 9/20 | Nov 30, 2005 Caramel malt aroma with strong fruity esters. Clear, copper coloured body with a low white head that recedes to partial cover. Strong fruity, berry flavour with plenty of caramel malts and some notes of toffee. Bready, biscuity malt note emerges as it warms. Medium body with moderate carbonation that does not last at all well. Sampled at O’Hare airport on the way to GABF 2005.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 22, 2005 Pretty good looking and smelling...and I think it tastes pretty good too. More like a nice pale ale than a marzen. Its not very hoppy, but it has a pleasant balance. Finish is a little too malty but still good. I came back to this after a Fantome Pissenlit and Stone Epic 4 and thought it was awful, but I must stay with my original rankings, since this can’t truly compete.
