| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 29, 2008 Bottle from theisti, poured with an orange color, nice initial off-white colored head, good lacing all the way down. The aroma was grassy caramel. The flavor featured strong toasted caramel notes and a bitter grassy hop finish. Full bodied, moderately carbonated, a hearty ofest brew. Thanks for this one, Tim!

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 26, 2008 This poured a murky orange color with a small head. The aroma is malty and contains some oranges, caramel, and berries. The flavor is very straight forward with some citrus, caramel, and a hint of raspberry iced tea. This one has a slight bitter presence to it instead of being the usual malty oktoberfest. Overall a nice session beer. beerinmarch (2829), Washington, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 19, 2008 Fruity Oktoberfest, cherry sweetness, similar to the Coney Island one. Sort of pomegranate juice flavor, or like bitter cranberry. Pours orange/amber with a thin white head. Not your typical toasty/nutty malt oktoberfest, instead heavy on the fruity malts. bu11zeye (5608), Frisco, Texas, USA

Aroma of nuts, sweet grain, and caramel. Flavor of caramel malt, nuts, bread, and biscuit. lithy (1750), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 18, 2008 Light orange-red with a thin off-white head. Sweet malty aroma, light woodiness, and husky grains. Taste is sweet and coating, toffee and caramel from front to back then a nice dose of herbal hops. mmmbeer (762), Austin, Texas, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 18, 2008 (12 oz. bottle served in shaker, consumed on Nov. 7, 2008) Poured transparent dark copper with brown tints, low carbonation, 3mm white head formed and tried it’s best to lace. Distinct aroma of a caramel malt, soft woods, and yeast. Hits the mouth with a medium body, strange bitter feel in the background from start to finish, malt is there and would be enjoyable if that bitterness wasn’t in the background, finish is a little uninspiring. Didn’t dump it despite the strange mouth feel while others would. Suttree (2740), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 31, 2008 Best Before 12/01/08. Clear Orange copper, thin beige head. Nice clean but faint aroma - a little sweet, a little peppery. Crisp flavor at first, then a surprisingly bitter finish. Kind of peppery, I guess. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. rader58 (189), Leawood, Kansas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 28, 2008 Updated: Sep 13, 2009Pours a clear red-orange leaning more to the orange side. Small head that diminishes almost instantly. Slightly bitter initial taste with a malty sweetness. Low carbonation. Very tasty brew.
