halfonit (419), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA Oct 23, 2009 Clear amber color. Aroma is of malts, caramel, nutmeg, grain, earthy, and some wheat. Taste is of bitter malts, hops, caramel, and honey. Has a bitter aftertaste. Nothing really pleasant about this. Narnad (681), Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA Oct 22, 2009 Pours from the bottle a clear deep copper-orange in color with a very big, creamy, tan head. Aroma is very malty, sweet caramel melding with a light Munich malt toasted notes, sweet floral hops and some light gourd-like fruitiness. Flavor has a very smooth sweet caramel note, light toasted Munich malt, light spicy note and some fruity apple at the end. Body is mod/heavy with a very full texture, great carbonation for the style, solid head retention and awesome lacing. Honestly, I was not expecting this from Dundee. A bit on the sweet side but not a bad brew at all and one I can see stocking the fridge with during the fall months. Dogbrick (2813), Columbus, Ohio, USA Oct 16, 2009 Sample at 69 Taps in Akron. The beer is a mostly clear copper color with a thin off-white head that disappears quickly. Spotty lacing. Light earthy malt and caramel aroma. Thin body with a weak caramel malt flavor along with notes of toasted grain. Metallic touches as well. The finish is short and malty. Overall this Oktoberfest is more or less a joke compared to what else is out there. topherh (878), Kearney, Missouri, USA Oct 13, 2009 Pours coppery with an off white head. Aroma of caramel malt. Flavor doesn’t have the big maltiness that the aroma promises; light malt, slightly tart, dry finish. caresville (106), Vernon, New Jersey, USA Oct 12, 2009 malty and sweet but quite light. not as good as other mass produced oktoberfests. an easy session beer and not too bad. dont expect to be blown away but definetly not a drain pour, right down the middle of the road. blindeyedbetty (148), Arlington, Virginia, USA Oct 11, 2009 12 oz. bottle pours a ruby-copper color with carbonation swirlies throughout, culminating in frothy off-white head. Aroma is of malty maple. Front palate is caramel with a wheaty, hay-like middle and finish that’s almost sour. Thin bodied. Not as hearty as I’d hoped. GMUcrew7 (353), Mason, Ohio, USA Oct 10, 2009 Pours translucent amber/brown with a nice light tan head. Basic caramel malt aroma, not much else. Flavor is similar caramel, buttered bread and nuts. I’ve had worse Oktoberfests that cost more, not a great beer but a good value. johnnyoski (160), Macomb, Michigan, USA Oct 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark amber with an off white head. Sweet caramel and spices on the aroma. Initial malty flavor actually turns quite sweet with lots of caramel in the finish. Dry, sticky texture with lively carbonation. A pleasant surprise at a cheap cost.
