redlem (1108), Illinois, USA Oct 4, 2008 Updated: Oct 10, 2008For those that prefer a kolsch over a pils this is the fest beer for you. This poured a nice gold color with a medium white head. Aroma is faintly sweet some bread with some grass. Taste is light very mildly sweet with a dry finish. The dry finish I found somewhat unusual in a fest beer but a quality I liked very much making this distinctive and very drinkable. theisti (1091), Leawood, Kansas, USA Sep 29, 2008 14 oz draft outdoors at the Oktoberfest outside of Huber Haus in Omaha, Nebraska. I am the 8th rating right now, I really had no idea I was trying something rare at the time. Nice bonus. Pour is clear golden with a one inch white head that is quite lasting. Aroma is sweet malt and honey. Some faint floral grassiness behind that. Taste is mostly the sweet grassiness. The sweetness is bright, but not lingering or cloying. Palate is thin to medium. Nice level of carbonation, drinkable and certainly inoffensive. I only had time for one before the drive home, though I could see this as a very quaffable beer for the festival. Fun event, by the way! Papsoe (10515), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 10, 2007 (Bottle 50 cl) Clear, pilsener golden with a dense, white head. Clean, sweetish malt aroma. Quite full-bodied with a solid, clean and sweetish malt base with the bitterness being pretty much absent. Solid, German quality. 101207 macbar (30), Italy Jun 10, 2006 The aroma is sweet malty with notes of hops. The color is golden and it has a small white disappearing head. The flavor is sweet and dominated by aroma hops. A very wellbalanced beer, and a good fest bier. MiP (6029), Flensburg, Germany Aug 24, 2005 Bottle. Malty aroma, but also a little acidic in a not so nice way. Golden colour, small white head. Flavour is OK. Malty, but with a touch of alcohol that gives it a good mouthfeel. Low bitterness, hint of hoppiness.
