Rich, malty brew, easy to rink despite the alcohol level. Some bitterenss to balance the malt as well. Decent. TrefwoordPunk (556), Leiden, Netherlands

Pours a pale golden with a medium sized head and an aroma of fresh apples, fresh malts and biscuits. The taste is fresh, malty, hoppy and a bit bitter. A slight sour, bitter finish rounds it up. Not a bad beer. MBison (548), Southern Highlands, Australia
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 16, 2008 Bottle (500ml). Poured fizzy gold with an averaged sized, fluffy, white head which was mostly lasting. Aroma was dominated by sweet grainy malts with yeasty/bread notes, straw, peppery hops, apples and hints of lemon citrus. Strong notes of barnyard hay in the flavour with a light bitterness, some yeasty notes, grainy malts, brown bread, honey, apples and some light rustic notes in the finish. Light to medium bodied with lively carbonation, a dry mouthfeel and an ok finish. D (542), Poland

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 28, 2008 Una oktoberfestbier dignitosa, forse un pelo troppo alcolica (vorrei vedere a berne 2-3 litri...) ma per fortuna non esageratemente piccante. Aroma da lager grassa, sapore estremamente poco complesso ma tutto sommato godibile. Lo sapete che domani parto per la grecia? Steely (165), , Sweden

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 26, 2008 Updated: Jan 1, 2009Nice golden color with a large foamy head.
The aroma is very average lager-like. Slightly of malt, but not much else to find there except some bread.
The taste is malty, clean, pretty sweet, slightly bready. It actually got a good "maltyness". The bitterness is there, but could be more prominent, but on the other hand that’s maybe not the intention of a oktoberfest beer.
The mouthfeel is okay. Carbonation isn’t that high, which is a plus.
Drinkability is good; you can drink this in large quantites if you like. Goes down easy. Sometimes it’s the right time for this kind of beers too.
Surprisingly good! One of the better oktoberfestbiers.
