Oct 16, 2006 Very nice. Grainy and malty, but the hops are there too. Superb balance. Nobody touchs the Ayinger though.

Oct 15, 2006 Its good to have a German beer that stick close to what a Marzen should taste like. Good amount of Caramel malts with little hops for the that Harvest taste.

Oct 9, 2006 Updated: Oct 30, 2006All the notes are subtle- underneath the yeasty biscuit/wheat taste there are faint hints of mineral, spice/clove, orange/lemon, pumkin. Best Oktoberfest style I’ve tried so far. Just a little chalkiness that is off putting for me.

Oct 8, 2006 Pours orange-amber into a shaker. Fluffy medium head leaves no lacing as it recedes. Malty Okto aromas. Upfront sweet caramel with a bitter, lasting finish turns back to malt. Medium bodied and well balanced.

Oct 8, 2006 Clear orange, creamy off white head. Nose held notes of toasted toffee chips, with soft touches of dark fruit, grains, biscuit. Upon warming, just a faint herbal tone appears too. Authentic German flavors that remain toasty, lightly bready, with faint raisin tones. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, drying toasty finish. Not a favorite style, but this was quite nice...

Oct 7, 2006 Updated: Jul 11, 2008I’ve waited a pretty long time to taste a hacker. Actually, I’ve been waiting for a kristel, dunkle weiss or a weiss bock, but this came around first. On the bottom left hand corner of the label it says ’OK+’ ! Do you know about the German purity law of 1516? It must be a good law, because this is good beer. When it hits your togue there is a slight flavor of hops, but very litlle, if any hop bitterness. How refreshing! The finish lacks the lasting bitterness of boiled hops that everyone else around here is so proud of, and I’m glad of it. I have visions of a pretty frua-lien in a long red skirt with only a bustenhalter, holding my beir while she is riding toward me on a big black horse, side-saddle!! I eagerly anticipate my next hacker. Not dissapointed. This is not yer typical pale yellow american style beer by any means.
