| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 17, 2006 Pours a clear copper amber with a thin wispy lightly-lacing off-white head. Authentic Vienna malty aroma has lots of toasty caramel and noble hop character. Starts with some sweet bready grainy maltiness and a good balance of noble hops. A well-balanced and authentic oktoberfest. Cletus (5058), Connecticut, USA
