UnionMade (621), Connecticut, USA Jul 4, 2003 I think my bottle may have been a touch old. Still drinkable and definitely tasty. Pours a hazy orange, with a huge fluffy head. Aroma is malty and...what a surprise....octoberfest-esque. Smells kind of ale like to me, rather than lager. Sweet and malty, with a touch of fruitiness (if you try hard for it). Not much bitterness. Sweet, tapering to a clean dry finish. Moderate carbonation, clean flavors. Pretty good. I really like the label.
crazyvin (1118), New York, USA Oct 8, 2003 A decent okctoberfest. Malty and sweet. Hsd a nice orangy/amber color too it with a nice white head. not overly hoppy just enough to balance out the sweetness. VENOM (941), Connecticut, USA Oct 30, 2002 Clear coppery orange. Small, compact off white foam. Light carbonation. Mild toasted malt aroma, husky grains and a dab of sweetness. Lightly crisp, clean and smooth. Fair amount of Munich toastiness and nutty dryness. Barely a hint of malt sweetness. Medium light body. Average hop bitterness and flavor. Has that River Horse yeast twang to it. Finishes drier and weakly malty with a dry nut and metal aftertaste. Kind of a snooze. Hey!
