Sep 2, 2009 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.

Aug 30, 2009 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.

Aug 29, 2009 On tap at Gordon Biersch in Las Vegas. Pours a pale light orange brown, thin to medium beige head, falls fast. Light caramel aromas, touch of malt. Sweet and floral caramel notes. Touch of esters. Finishes almost a touch hot with some balancing bitter.

Aug 28, 2009 This was the better beer of the two that I got with my meal. Tasted very traditional with smooth malting and a simple mouthfeel. Decent beer.

Aug 18, 2009 Draft @ SFO. Nice looking beer. Aroma is very subtle, not a lot going on. Flavor is a lightly roasted malt, a nice bitterness, but then an aluminum tang that isn’t terribly pleasant. Really prickly carbonation that borders on over-the-top. Pretty pedestrian.

Aug 16, 2009 Bottle pour, nice color, looks inviting. Flavor is a little confusing to me.....first taste is slightly bitter, then the roasted malt flavors appear. Almost tastes like a combination of beer styles. Maybe it’s just my lack of beer tasting knowledge. Overall feel is slick, with slight carbonation. Don’t get me wrong, this beer is pretty good, and drinkable. Not at the top of my list, but still good.

Aug 13, 2009 Pours a translucent amber with a one finger light tan head. Nose is sweet and malty with some caramelly notes and leafy hops. Flavor is grainy with more of an astringency/metallic hop bite than one would expect. Palate is dominated by a harsh astringency.

Aug 13, 2009 Bottle. I have remarkably little to say about this beer. Pours clear amber with a small, dissipating head. Aroma and flavor both reflect gentle caramel-earthy malt and not much hop presence. Palate is creamy, but thin. A good deal uninspired, because “German-style” does not have to be synonymous with “boring."
