Dec 16, 2009 12oz. Soft fruit aroma, Apricot or plum, I can’t quite name it, might be the hops. Also some fruity esters. Warm round malt up front and slightly funny bitterness to finish. Wonderful malty flavors, really hit the spot and brings me to autumn even though it’s 9 degrees outside. Yay beer!

Nov 13, 2009 Bottle - pours an amber color with a thin tan head. Malty, caramal and nutty aroma. Taste is a malt heavy one as you would expect in an Oktoberfest. Also has some caramel, biscuit and sugary notes. I didn’t really pick up any of the chocolate malts but otherwise a pretty decent brew.

Nov 3, 2009 Bottle. Poured a nice amber color with a big off white head. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, and mild hops. Nice easy drinking and well balanced. Not as full bodied as some other octoberfests but still good.

Oct 30, 2009 On tap at Harpoon Brewery, 8 October 2009. Quite dark copper colour. Fairly dry malt. Not too bready. Mellow mouthfeel with a touch of residual sweetness but not too much. Hops are mainly a little earthy. The Willamette hops may not be exactly traditional for an Octoberfest but they do add a welcome, slightly citric biiterness. Decent stuff.
