ben4321 (952), Rockville, Maryland, USA Nov 8, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 11/8/09
Aroma: The nose is mostly malty, fairly mild, some caramel too
Appearance: Pours a clear orange color with a frothy white head
Flavor: A pretty average, typical of the style, malty and bready flavor
Palate: Light body, watery mouthfeel, drinkable, not much else
Overall Impression:
This is a fairly boring brew, not bad, just not very exciting. Nothing very exciting going on here, not much else to say, it just is what it is. An adventure-less attempt at the Oktoberfest style.
**Just submitted a Photo for this one as well, as it was missing one.

CUJO (339), Brooklyn, New York, USA Oct 26, 2009 bottle: weizen: this beer, and so far this brewery has been a let down... very average, no risks, no over the top flavors... satisfying yes, but stand out? No. dmac (1418), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Oct 24, 2009 12 oz bottle from Spirits RB. Pours a mostly lifeless honey amber body with a large frothy white head. Aroma was brown bread, slight nutts, rotting fruit, alcohol and stale caramel. Flavor is pretty flat with only a slight hint of cereal grains and a slight bitter finish. Not really anything good here, it’s like a BMC version of an Oktoberfest rather then a creaft brewery version. eaglefan538 (2351), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Oct 24, 2009 Bottle from SL. Pour was straw golden to light amber in color with a nice pilsner-like head and lacing all the way down. The aroma was pilsy malts, grassy hops, honey, biscuity malts. The flavor followed, some caramel in there, but really a nice ofest-pilsnery type interpretation of the ofest style. Good strong hops presence over all the grainy and malty bigness. Mouthfeel was moderate, clean, especially for the flavor. Nice job!
