Bottle for Oktoberfest Day 1. Pours ultra clear orange amber with a small off-white head and lots of tiny bubbles that keep it going. Aroma is mostly grass and caramel, taste is a little nuttier with a little almond/raisin toward the finish. Crisp and slightly bitter. Light and bubbly

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a brilliant, clear, amber body. 1 inch, foamy white head. Aroma is of rich caramel malt, bread crust and a touch of some dark fruit. Something a bit off...slightly musty. Toast and caramel in the flavor with some cereal. Light-medium body, malt forward with a moderately bitter finish. Smooth and sessionable. An all around tasty beer.

Dec 1, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a golden brown with a very small white head. Aroma is mostly caramel malts with some fig and a mild toasted bread with just a bit of over-toasting. Flavor is very malty with some slight bitterness all through the finish. Some butter and a tiny spiciness but very malt forward and toasty bready. Medium body and an average carbonation. A decent Oktoberfest, providing the basic components of the style without really shining.

Nov 17, 2009 Bottle: A bright and transparent dark copper pour with a large sandy head. Mild aroma is malty, earthy, and lightly spiced. Cloves and nutmeg, almost like a pumpkin ale. More of the spice comes through in the flavor, definitely cloves now. More earthiness, dry florals, light bitters, and faintly bready. Finishes dry, floral and lingering with bitters. Not bad.

Nov 13, 2009 12oz bottle courtesy of Sam at Hangar 24. Rating #284. Crystal clear amber pour, super clear actually. Lightly sweet, malty, some caramel. Taste has a little bite too it, a little more sweetness, but nothing exciting overall, good drinker. (1059)

Nov 1, 2009 Bottle. Clear amber body with a small, fizzy, off-white head, fully diminishing. Light malt aroma of toasted grain and caramel. Hint of floral hops. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter — too bitter for a marzen. But even discounting the style, the malts and hops are unclean and a bit disjointed leaving a slight vegetative taste and sourness. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Not enjoyable.
