burnt orange color, lightly malty with some butterscotchy (maybe diacetyl) aromas. nutty, toasty, buttery flavors. walnut, and some european hops, perhaps too much hops but still a smooth, easy drinking oktoberfest. pretty good, really.

Not the best impresson of this style. A fairly decent malt note in the aroma. A little too hoppy for a good Octoberfest.

Deep red amber with some dark chestnut brown hues. Little to no head, quite clear. Aroma has some sour hops smell, grainy wheat flavors and maybe a touch of alcohol. Begins mildly bitter, has a decent hops bite to it and a moderately grainy mouthfeel. Some astringency and sourness problems, and the alcohol asserts itself too much because, once again, there is little to no malt presence. Carbonation level is ok. Tons of soapiness on the finish, one thing I absolutely hate. (well Im sure no one likes soapy beers).

Nice head and lacing. Great color that catches the light well. I grabbed a couple of bottles of it for a party and everyone was pleased with it.
