| 0.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 2/20 | Oct 10, 2009 Oh, wow. Not good. Not downright nasty, but definitely not desirable. Man, I don’t even know where to start. It’s astringent, thin, and... man, I’m trying to find something good to say about this, but there’s just nothin’. Oh, wait: Nice amber color and poured with a nice head, but it went away quickly. Avoid this beer. mike4aker (25), USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 9, 2009 Has a nice amber color and tastes much better than it smells. It has a clean, crisp flavor with hints of caramel. johnnyoski (164), Macomb, Michigan, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber with a small white head. Caramel and toasted malt aroma which are also dominant in the flavor with hints of autumn spices. It finishes smooth but with a slight metallic aftertaste. Watery texture and soft carbonation. Decent for the price. JPDIPSO (4944), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 2, 2009 Orange to amber in color with a thin, wispy light beige head. Grain, caramel, toasted malt and and corn drift about lightly in the nose. Light caramel and toasted malt flavors. A little nutty. Touch of floral hops. A vienna to amber lager. A bit sweet at times with some honey creeping in. Fairly crisp in the finish and linger, but a bit sticky in feel at times. Cybercat (826), Georgia, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 29, 2009 Pours a nice golden amber with a fairly thick but none too persistent whitish head. Aroma is malty and a little yeasty and a bit wan. Flavor is crisp and malty, fairly mouth-filling, but not complex. Texture is smooth, only a little tingly, and leaves a slightly unpleasant metallic aftertaste. Palatable, but no cause for a "Tweet." Cletus (5060), Connecticut, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 7, 2009 Pours copper with a white head. Smells of caramel and metallic. Tastes of sweet caramel with some floral hints and an earthy finish. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 27, 2009 Appearance: Pours a clear, golden-amber body with a thin, white head.
Smell: Lightly toasty malts with hints of spicy hops and apple.
Taste: Faintly toasty, sweet malts in the foreground that fade away with an encroaching watery quality. This opens the palate up for some spicy hops and a light bitterness. Minor hint of apple. Finishes dry, crisp, but oh-so watery.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. I’m afraid it’s a tad watery.
Drinkability: Mostly an Oktoberfest in name only. A bit watery, but you get what you pay for, I suppose.
