Oct 13, 2008 12 oz bottle from Steve’s in WI. Pours a clear orange with a beige head that fades. Sweet malts a touch of toffee and marzen in the nose. Lightly sweet flavors some charred malt, toffee, marzen, bread, touch of bitterness. Drinkable and decent but it could use more of a hop presence.

Oct 12, 2008 Bottled sample. Pale amber in colour with very strong carbonation. Aromas of heavy malts, caramel, and a bit of bread dough. Fairly sweet in the mouth with more caramel and mild bread notes. There’s a faint suggestion of leafy hops somewhere in there too. A little light in the body and in toasted malt notes for the style. Drinkable enough, but a little bland overall.

Oct 10, 2008 More golden than amber, fairly high on clarity scale. Big white head that recedes in center, leaving foam on interior of glass rim. Smells a tad skunky upon first whiff. I’m smelling toffee pretzels...really a tasty aroma. Flavor is where this Oktoberfest beer really shines...sweet and malty and caramelly. Really nice. On a pure drinkability scale, I have to give this one the edge over Sam Adams’ Octoberfest, which is another leader in the category. I could see myself in a tent in Bavaria quaffing liters of this elixir.

Oct 3, 2008 Updated: Oct 4, 2008Golden/copper color with a thin but persistent off white head. Aroma of floral hops with a hint of citrus. Roasted caramel malt taste with a creamy mouth feel. A little malty but a nice brew and a great Octoberfest.

Oct 2, 2008 I suppose one of the better Oktoberfests I’ve tried-- although not one of my fav styles. Still think Ayinger is better, although Capital does a decent job with lagers.

Sep 23, 2008 Updated: Sep 30, 2008Small yellowish head over clear pale-amber beer. Extremely fruity nose, rosehipsjam, caramelmalts in force. Bready, but with a leafy, near-bitterish tang, that is very welcome, relieving the more classical sweet, malty, caramel-fruity notes. Retronasal again rosehipsjam. Bit spritzy MF, slick, but not much body. Not bad, even when, considering this an Oktoberfestbeer, I’d hate to have to drink liters of this. Thanks, DA!

Sep 22, 2008 Oktoberfest tasting Three Cellars Milwaukee. One of the better US Oktoberfest brews I have had. Brown sugar and almond and some light malts.
