| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 9, 2005 Not as bitter as some but it has a nice (if a little weak) flavor. Not better then say Hacker Pschorre or Pauliner but refreshing. I notice the water this company uses is very fresh tasting. JCapriotti (1378), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

Sweet grainy aroma.
Hm. More sweet grains in taste.
Smooth, perhaps a bit sweet for a whole bottle. A pretty good Oktoberfest. Not big, but not bad.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 9, 2005 Draft at brewery. Clear amber pour with a light off-white head. Wheat and light caramel on the aroma, but rather subdued. Caramel provided much of the flavor, backed by some general toastiness and some bright hops toward the finish. This was missing the complexity of most other Oktoberfests that I have tried. beervana (781), Libertyville, Illinois, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 27, 2005 12 oz bottle - Poured amber with a nice fluffy offwhite head. Aroma of caramel malts. Flavor was pretty much one dimensional as well. All caramel malts. On the palate this is medium bodied with quite a bit of carbonation to make it feel light and fluffy in the mouth.
