Oct 3, 2009 Sampled at a Mead, Cider, and Beer Tasting by Binny’s Beverage Depot in Glen Ellyn, IL. Poured to my wine/sampler glass a clear golden amber with a modest, bubbly white head and fair lacing. The aroma was light German malt and a little nobleness. Flavor notes were also light as grainy malt, hop bitterness, body and finishing dryness. Very average!

Oct 1, 2009 Bottle at Harleysville Inn. Pours amber with a thin white head. Aroma of cheap macrobrew. Taste of cheap macrobrew with a little extra malt and grain. Disappointing, but a fine effort for MillerCoors.

Oct 1, 2009 Just ok. One of the weaker O’fests. Had this at Clancey’s during Giant football. Won’t buy a 6 pak of this as there are far better choices out there.

Sep 30, 2009 This is an ok beer, but not like other Octoberfest styles. The clear aroma has some grain but doesn’t differ too much from average beers out there. The aroma is probably the weakest part of this one. The flavor has some grain, malt, and citrus. It’s relatively easy to drink but isn’t anything special. Some other offerings from Leinenkugel have been much better (their Honey Wheat is quite good). However, I sort of like it. It’s a little sweet and a bit metallic, but has some substance to it.

Sep 30, 2009 Pours a clear honey color. Aroma of malt and grain. Initial taste is of grain and yeast. Finish is dry with a skunky aftertaste. Not a very good Oktoberfest/Marzen.

Sep 27, 2009 Light copper color with an off white short lived head. Pronounced grassy notes that may rival Sauvignon Blanc. The mouthfeel is light-medium with a crisp more hop than malt taste. Noticeable bitterness in the finish. Not exactly what in looking for in an Oktoberfest style beer.

Sep 26, 2009 Initial aroma is of Coors. 12 oz. bottle pours a ruby amber with a finger of off white head that leaves very little lacing. After it opens up a bit, aroma is of caramel and malt. Front palate is malty with a metallic middle and finish reminiscient of dried frut like cherries or cranberries. Moderately carbonated. Light to medium bodied. Not the worst Leinie I’ve ever had and definitely better than I had expected.

Sep 26, 2009 Light and bready.. This is pretty light for an Oktoberfest. Not so bad but not great. The flavor tastes alittle synthetic. Faint Carmel taste as well.
