Aroma was little funky , malty, grain and bread. Flavor was a little off; a lot of grass and corn/funkiness. Good for an event like oktoberfets, but didn’t like it very much.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 2, 2007 Brings me back to stumbling about in Munich. The grain rich nose was the first and most powerful link to my memories of consuming numerous 1 liter mugs of this elixer in 1992. A pleasant surprise at the rip and run today. Goes down smooth and sweet. At least this time I did not end up sleeping under the picnic table during the beer festival. Lightly hopped finish rounds into sweet short-lived mouthfeel. I long for the Oompah band.
