Oct 4, 2009 Clear amber with a thin white head. Aroma of caramel, toast, honey, and herbs with a hint of spice. Light medium watery body with a moderate amount of carbonation. Nice malty flavor of caramel, toast, apple, and nuts with hints of herbs and spice. Very smooth and refreshing. Another solid offering from Capital, but pretty standard. Good.

Oct 2, 2009 Orange, clear pour with spotty, off white head. :Leafy aroma with cracker, nutty, caramel malt. Flavor is caramel with leafy hops. Good for the style, but Oktoberfests kinda suck.

Sep 28, 2009 Sampled at Famous Liquors Fall /Oktoberfest Tasting in Lombard, IL. Poured a gold/amber with a foamy, off white, fairly lasting head and lacing. Pretty good for plastic. The aroma was some toasty malt and a hint of caramel. The flavor added some subtle hop bitterness, light creaminess to the tongue, and some pleasant dryness to the finish. Standard but good Marzen.

Sep 27, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a very clear but rich glowing orange amber with a very fine dense white froth. Super rich aroma for a marzen, rich like creamy vanilla, cleaner munich malt sweetness, nice spiciness. Flavor follows but with some leading bitterness, medium sweetness, creamy and round, softer, doughy, just a touch vegetal, and some alcohol. Medium bodied, smooth, heavy, fine fizzy carbonation. Something is a little bit off with this...

Sep 19, 2009 Draft at the OF. Hazy tan-amber color with a minimal oily head. Big amber-caramel aroma. Super sweet diacetyl bomb. Lots of caramel/butterscotch straight up dominates. Probably one of the worst Oktoberfests I’ve had. The whole batch should have been drainpoured. Trash.
