Bottled. A hazy orange-red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit - especially peaches, as well as notes of malt and berries. the flavor is sweet with notes of dusty German hops combined with light notes of alcohol, leading to a dry and slightly bitter finish. OK, but nothing special.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Slightly hazy amber golden with a small, creamy, off-white head. Sweetish, malty nose. Medium body with lightly sweet malts and a somewhat biscuity touch. The finish is dry. Somewhat close to a Heller Bock. 171107

(12oz bottle) Crystal clear amber with small off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, evokes hefeweizen -- banana and wheat, with light spice, caramel. Taste is medium sweet, banana, some caramel, light spice, earthy. Light-medium body. Not bad, but not what I would call a traditional oktoberfest beer.

Pours a clear deep copper with a thin, fizzy white head. Aroma boasts lots of thick sweet caramel malt and a touch of noble hops and German lager yeastiness. Body starts very malty, sweet, and full with a good bittering hop balance toward a crisp, yet creamy, malty finish. A very enjoyable Oktoberfest.

Small 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!

Poured from the tap, this has a deep orange body with a thin frostly head that disappeared bfore the bartender could hand it to me. Modest carbonation. It has a nice malty aroma, maybe a bit nutty. Gives a creamy mouthfeel, Tastes slightly sleep, but not too bad. A crisp, malty finish.
