Sep 15, 2006 From a 22 oz. brown bomber bottle with "FRESH BEER - KEEP COOL" on the right side of label, fall ’06 release.
Poured a clear reddish orange hued amber with a foamy off-white/pale tan head that settled into a thin sudsy lacing, very minimal amount of sticking.
Aromas of toasted grain, sweet caramelized malts, a light fruitiness and floral hops.
Good carbonation for an Oktoberfest and a malty crisp, dryish, smooth light bodied mouthfeel. The body, more accurately, has a light-medium feel.
Pleasant and a nice Oktoberfest taste, light toasted grains, sweet caramelized malts, a subtle fruity breadiness, spicy, honey-like hops, a bit of herbalness as well, a flash of alcohol, and a dry grainy and malty finish. Good, easy, very quaffable drinkability.
A tasty and balanced Oktoberfest, I have feeling this best when it’s very fresh, in September and October, well worth trying.

Mar 1, 2006 London Gathering Nov 05: Very sweet and somewhat over-the-top. Tart edge. Sharp and certainly different.

Dec 6, 2005 Bottle at London gathering, November 2005. Gift from The_Beer_God (thanks Mike) that had languished, forgotten about, at the back of my "cellar" for a while. As others have remarked, it was real gusher on opening. However, although I’m sure it wasn’t intended, I rather liked the sour notes that may have come from the suspected infection. It must be something about me as, a while ago, I forgave an infected bottle from the Shardlow brewery in England because it ended up tasting like a gueuze. So I noted this beer as interesting, rather than unpleasant. There were some hops peeking through the net curtains of sourness. I guess this may have a good ration of sweet malt in its intended form as I picked up a distinct sweet & sour undertone.

Nov 25, 2005 Bottle. tasted similiar to the pale ale, but this was maltier. Slightly infected character, with touches of berry fruit sourness. Infected, but in a wierd way, it made it quite interesting, otherwise, not so good.
