| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 8, 2009 Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy amber color lager with a medium size foamy head with good retention and not much lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malt is really dominant. Taste is more accentuated then expected with huge caramel malt backbone with nice balancing residual sugar aftertaste. Body is full with some limited filtration and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Very well done for the style with great character. zer0crew (60), Duluth, Minnesota, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours an reddish-amber, somewhat cloudy, with a very thin layer of head that persists. The flavor is of very malty while the aroma is actually quite sweet (in a strong, thick way; like molasses). Not one of my favorite Oktoberfest beers. blindeyedbetty (151), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 5, 2009 12 oz. bottle pours cloudy cinnamon color with frothy off white head that leaves little lacing. Aroma is strong of fermenting apples and caramel with underpinnings of yeast. Front palate is malty with a nutty middle and a tin-like finish. Not one of my favorite Left Hand brews. glennmastrange (857), hobe sound, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 5, 2009 Bottle. Moderate nutty and caramel for the malt, light herbs and dough for the hops and yeast, with a hint of honey. Head is small, wispy, white with no lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is slightly hazy orange/tan. Flavor starts lightly to moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly sweet and bitter. Palate is medium, watery but a little slick, and has a soft carbonation. Just what an Oktoberfest is supposed to taste like.
