| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 1, 2007 Medium/dark amber color - a little cloudy with a thin uneven head. Aroma is bready and slightly earthy. Flavor is moderately sweet, but rather muddy without any crisp roastiness or well-formed body. Finish lingers a bit and is a little sticky. Nothing worth trying again.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 13, 2009 Clear amber. Small, off white head. Aroma of toasty, grainy malt, a very light caramel sweetness, subtle and unexpected hints of lemon, and a light dose of herbal hops. Flavor adds more umph to the malt presence in the form of biscuit and old grains and more caramel. Dry, grainy finish. Medium, balanced body. Good brew. From notes. Cletus (5060), Connecticut, USA

Smells of sweet, cereal malts and a hint of spice. Tastes good. More smooth and flavorful and less metallic tasting than many other O’Fests I’ve had. Sweet, caramel malts, slight spice flavor, almost pumpkin like. Medium body, slight syrup, good carbonation. Smooth. Soonah (980), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA

The aroma was sweet malts and a bit of grain. The flavor too was dominated by tons of sweet malts and some grain. Light citrus towards the finish. Thin mouthfeel. joeyplush (337), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 2, 2009 Bottle from Dmac. Thanks, David! Pours a nice, chunky amber with a healthy head of white that leaves a delicate latticework of lacing. Aroma is watery isopryl alcohol base with chunks of pumpkin biscuit floating in it. Flavor is a delicate balance of nutty malt, roasted malt, and a touch of pumpkin spice in the finish. Tingly mouthfeel that subsides too quickly. A nice beer; I’d drink this again.
