12oz bottle. medium amber/copper colored. 2 inch white head that fades over a minute to a thin foam frosting. Tastes of sweet malts dominate, with very low bitterness. thin body. Smooth, clean, crisp finish. Astonishingly refreshing and a pleasure to drink.

On tap in a pint glass. Pours ruby red orange clear. The aroma is very sweet and so is the flavor. Too sweet, in fact... Almost syrupy. Just a hint of grain flavor. A little thick on the tongue and medium carbonation.

Pours copper with a nice white head. Smells of caramel and earthy. Tastes lightly spicy and earthy with a sweet malty finish.

On tap at Reagan International Airport in D.C....Amber color...Malty flavor and finish...No hops detectable...Very similar to the Festbier...Less malty in the finish and a bit thinner...Nice nonetheless...

On draft at the Miami location. Clear orange amber pour with fair ring of white head. Aroma is sweet malt, vaguely caramel, grain and corny adjuncts, and butter. While the aroma is bearable, the flavor is verging on putrid. Like trying to drink a burnt plastic, rotten vegetable diarrhea stew. HORRIBLY FLAWED!!! I would definitely try again, but this batch was total shit.

500 ml draft at the downtown Kansas City location. Pour is slight hazed copper brown with a small off white head. Aroma of dusty grainy malt, some sweet nut. Taste is nut sweetness, mild bitterness, diacetyl, grass and straw. Palate is medium to thin, and prickly carbonation. Long harsh sweet finish. Not that clean, for their "most popular" beer on the menu, this one tasted like it had been sitting for awhile.

On tap at Monks in Tallahassee. Dark amber pour with a decent white head that disapears quickly. Aroma is faint, grainy caramel in nature. Flavor is good, exactly what you expext from an octoberfest. Pretty good overall.
