Small head that diminishes almost instantly. Slightly bitter initial taste with a malty sweetness. Low carbonation. Very tasty brew. Pawola22 (797), Kansas City, Missouri, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 28, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a bright, clear, and lighter red-orange with a small, off-white, fizzy head that dissipates quickly and leaves minimal lacing. Predominant aroma of sweet caramel and fruity malts with an ever so slight hint of citrus bitterness. Fruity mixture of berries and lemon/orange. Nice, abounding smell for an Oktoberfest. Taste is toffee and caramel malts balanced well with more hops than most Oktoberfests. Finishes bitter and grainy, but very smooth. I really like this Oktoberfest flavoring. More hops than I’m used to in any sort of lager. Very nice. Medium to full bodied and creamy with a dry finish and an earthy lingering bitterness. Impressed. wu1000k (12), Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 27, 2008 One of my favored Oktoberfest beers -- copper color, hoppy / malty smell, classic oktoberfest malt flavor with hoppy finish that lingers for a bit. Try one if you get the chance! ericandersnavy (1141), crossroads, Texas, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 22, 2008 Bottled, labeled as ’’Bob’s 47 Oktoberfest.’’ Garnet orange in color with a small, bright-white head. Rich, sweet malt aroma with hints of dried fruit (plums & dates especially). I’m tempted to say it has some quadrupel characteristics in the nose. Moderately sweet, moderately hopped flavor, caramel malts quite prevalent with some grainy huskiness. Dry finish. Are you sure this is only 5.5% ABV? I seem to detect a mild alcohol flavor in the finish. Damn, this is tasty. GJF (520), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA
