Wulfstan (434), California, USA Jun 13, 2008 This is a nice, tasty beer, but defintiely on the light, thin side for an Oktoberfest. It’s amber with a huge, off-white head that slowly shrinks to leave a little weak lace. The aroma is very nice, flowery, lemon, bread, crust, hints of pine and fruit. The taste is nice, also, being fruity, lemony, with light cracker quality, zesty, apple peepl, and light yeastiness, with light bitterness balancing the light sweetness and perhaps just having the edge. However, its’s a bit thin and light, and not exactly what I think of for this style. At least it’s more flavourful than the Gordon Biersch version.
bhensonb (2832), Woodland, California, USA Aug 9, 2008 Bottle from John’s Market in Portland, OR. Light amber color with a decent off-white head. Lightly spicy and roasted caramel aromas. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is lightly spiced caramel, with some balancing grassy bitter. A light, tasty lager. Dubbercody (164), Vancouver, Washington, USA Jun 21, 2008 I found this beer for $ .75 on my last beer outing...so the frugal bastard I am, put one in the cart...
Orange amber color, very little head with a normal pour. Alright taste, not nearly as thick as it should have been for the style. But it’s still not bad...
It’s okay, not an oktoberfest beer. More of a it’s 70 degrees outside and I just want something to drink beer. I should have bought a case for $15. It would have been great party fodder.
phishpond417 (1360), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jun 20, 2008 Pours with an orange amber colour and no head. Aromas of apple sauce and pumpkin. Mouthfeel is full and well carbonated. Smooth, silky, lots of malts and nutty character. presario (2392), Calgary, Alberta, Canada May 23, 2008 Bottle. Small head. Hazy amber. Malty aroma with hints of tangerine and hops. Flavour is a bit weird with cinnamon and pumpkin flavours.
