| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 26, 2007 Golden orange color, nearly crystal-clear...pretty appealing visually. Light, dim aroma of... malt? Sugar? I’m not sure. Flavors were on the sweet side...malt, some graininess, a bit of the yeast. Pretty heavy and syrupy, alright but a bit too much... a decently made beer but I don’t think I could drink very much of this. DTM (541), Winters, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 26, 2007 Pours a golden red. Is that really a color? Malty flavor with a smooth finish. A little weak on body, but very easy to drink. swoopjones (1917), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 13, 2007 On tap. Sort of bland marzen . Mild malts, decent auburn color, some sweetness. No backbone here. Average Kinz (2213), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 12, 2007 VA Beach location. Medium amber. Faint hop and caramel aroma. Flavor did not really have any hop profile to speak of, simply smooth malts. Perhaps some faint grass on the finish. Focus on the cookie malts. Nice, actually. pinkzambia (989), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 11, 2007 Tap: Reddish-gold color with no head. Aroma of sweet, polished leather with a sweet and slightly bitter taste. Ok. glennmastrange (860), hobe sound, Florida, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 6, 2007 Light aromas all around with light bread for the malt, lime for the hops, dough for the yeast, and brown sugar in the background. Head was small, fizzy, white with no lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is a sparkling clear red/brown. Flavor starts lightly sweet then finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a fizzy carbonation. Not much to this one, just an average Octoberfest. exadore (92), Sacramento, California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 3, 2007 Bottle. Very thin white, gold nutty brown, very malty and sweet. Finish is very smooth, but I desire a little more. shakespeare33 (120), san diego, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 31, 2007 12oz bottle. pours a cloudy auburn color with a redwood accent.. Smells nutty almost piney... Very good initial hit to the palate with subtle peaks of lower level nutty malts and a very light ending. The original bite ends quickly with nothing heavy on the back end. Would like more of a finish but it is smooth and very enjoyably refreshing. stamp approval.
