| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. Aroma is typical amber lager notes of caramel, clean yeastiness with a touch of Hallertau. Kind of reminiscent of normal Sam Adams. Decent Oktoberfest, though far from the best.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 5, 2008 I expected more from a beer with this kind of heritage. I honestly wasn’t all that impressed. It was pretty complex, I’ll give it that. I was turned off by how sour it was. Maybe I had a bad bottle. It wasn’t excessively sour, but just enough to make me reach for something else within minutes. bag (103), Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, USA
