I tried this beer on October 14, 2008 at "The Beer Bistro" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a crystal translucent dark golden colour with a thin white head. The aroma has some grainy malt hints, some hop hints, as well as some fruity hints like apricot. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, and was lightly carbonated. The flavour was grainy malt, and was very smooth. This went down well tupalev (2617), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Great looking pour, medium yellow with orange and a good sized white head. Malty aroma, almost a touch sweet, with some tinny hops. Taste is decent - yeasty, malty/grainy with a bit of yeast and even a little alcohol. Pretty refreshing. Nothing blew me away, but it was a solid beer. PaulHegedus (466), Georgetown, Ontario, Canada

This was amber with a small head in a German style beer mug. The aroma was of caramel with some subtle breadiness. I taste more caramel in the malt. daknole (2940), Plantation, Florida, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours a yellow-apricot orange, with a small head. Aroma of German hops, malt, and caramel. Flavor is surprisingly tasty. It is a soft mixture of sweet malts with some toffee, butterscotch, and soil. Really nice. I have been looking for a quaffable Oktoberfest, and in Hacker-Pschorr, I think I’ve found it. jmm635 (262), Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 28, 2008 Pours an amber/red color with a nice white head. Typical octoberfest aromas of caramel, spices, but I think a little wheat. Flavor is mostly malts, specificially caramel. Smooth and drinkable with a clean, lasting finish. I definitely recommend.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 28, 2008 Was looking for a marzen because of the season, this was recommended by the clerk of the local booze store. A really striking amber color with enough clearness to see every bubble rise to the half inch head. Very sweet malt aroma on this, candied malts. taste was a mild bitterness that does not offend and makes for easy drinking especially with such a light palate. I went out in search of pretzels to eat with my second bottle. Rciesla (3645), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
