| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 13, 2009 Slightly cloudy, deep amber appearance with a fairly large, beige head and good lacing. Caramel malt aroma on a backdrop of ripe fruit. Some grainyness helps cut through the sweet taste as does the subtle hoppiness. Lingering sweetness in the medium length finish. Very drinkable.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 29, 2008 Bottle. Sweet malty aroma with caramel and a little cellar funk, earth and toffee with lemoncit and yeast. Lovely copper-amber pour with a creamy eggshell head. Taste is heavy caramel and lemon, earth and dark toffee, predominately dry with a touch of corn and brown sugar. Faint bitter chocolate. Bready aftertaste, light-bodied. Not really a pitch-perfect Alt, and I’m having problems classing this as an Oktoberfest/Maerzen, but it is really quaffable. theisti (1684), Leawood, Kansas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 4, 2008 12 oz bottle courtesy of eaglefan538. Pour is hazed orange golden with a one inch light tan head. Audible carbonation crackling on the pour. Aroma of soft bakers cocoa and fruity maltiness. Taste is the sweet maltiness, with a bit of a sharp acidity in the middle, leading to some hay and dirt in the finish. Decent complexity. After taste is dry and lingering, perhaps a bit too lingering. Palate is medium to thin, perhaps a bit heavier than a traditional Oktoberfest, though still nicely drinkable. Overall a decent Oktoberfest. Thanks for sending this my way, Brian. BillWyce (95), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
