Nov 3, 2006 Bottle. Pours a little lighter than the amber in a typical Octoberfest. Way too bitter and fizzy than the Octoberfests that I enjoy. Doesn’t resemble the style in a way that I found terribly compelling. As a beer in general it might not deserve this low a rating, but I found this beer very lacking as an Octoberfest.

Nov 2, 2006 From the bottle pours a clear amber with a thin offwhite head. Toasty sweet cereal malt up front, lots of caramel. Finish had a mild hopping with some fruitiness from the malts. Lots of body to this brew while still remaining smooth and drinkable. Balanced and bready oktoberfest.

Nov 1, 2006 At times Flying Dog impresses me, but not very often. This one was a disappointment. Pours copper with an uneven fizzy off-white head. The aroma has caramel malt and a staleness that reminds me of dirty socks. The caramel is not very rich for a marzen. Medium body, but light for the style. there is some subdued sharp carbonation. Starts with dry caramel malt that has that offputting staleness from the aroma. The finish is still stale with a touch of spice. Comes across very few characteristics and what is there is not very good.

Nov 1, 2006 Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours amber with a big off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts and hops. The flavor is sweet, caramel, and mild bitterness. Good beer.

Oct 31, 2006 I usually don’t care for the myriad of US brewed seasonal Oktoberfests. This one is at least drinkable even if it isn’t quite on the money. Perhaps too hoppy.

Oct 30, 2006 Smooth taste with overtones of malt and lemon. Good beer for those who want something a little more bold than a wheat or pilsner.

Oct 28, 2006 12 oz. bottle Pours a very clear amber-copper color with a nice off white head. Light spotty lacing. Has a light grassy hop and sweet bread malt aroma. Sweet malt flavor with a touch of spice. Medium body. A nice beer.

Oct 28, 2006 Tried this at a Flying Dog beer tasting at the local package store. Poured to a bright copper color, with medium off-white head and okay lacing. Malty-sweet aroma, with not much else in the nose. Taste was very mild; drinkable, but not real flavorful. Finish was nice and smooth. Not great, but a decent Autumn Fest beer.
