| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 9, 2009 Bottle: another yummy oktoberfest beer. I can’t get enough of these thirst-quenching delights. Even a middle of the road Oktoberfest, like this Blue Point, is music to my tastebuds. Deliciously malty and bready. Head retention is a bit disappointing and the body a bit thin. But still a clean-tasting, refreshing beer. Finishes with nice, light hops. ben4321 (1041), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | 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.
