Oct 12, 2003 Bottle. Pours amber-red with a moderate off-white head that dissipates leisurely. Aroma is caramel and honey malts, lightly spiced, with hops noticible. Flavor is sweet, malty and smooth, minimal hop bite and a lingering molasses-spice finish. Body is medium with quite a bit of carbonation.

Oct 9, 2003 Red-brown with a frothy, off-white head ... looks really good. Smooth, light and fluffy mouthfeel at times, sharp in others; decently carbonated. Enjoyable malt flavors. Roasted, kind of nutty and mildly sweet on the lips. Some hop bitterness comes up in the finish to balance things out pretty well.

Oct 5, 2003 Malty aroma, but with too much roasted flavor. Should have a faint toasted, with hints of honey. Great amber-red color, with a pale tan head. Flavor, again has a bit too much roast character, but nice malt overall. Some very subtle esters, and a faintly hoppy finish.

Oct 4, 2003 A little nutmeg up front on the aroma. Nice looking copper color with an off white head. A little sweet up front with a good balace of hop and slightly toasted malt. Good clean finish.

Oct 3, 2003 Copper hue with good head and very good lace. The aroma is caramelize malts, tangy and citrus hops, and a bit of sweet spice. The initial sweetness is balanced by a hop zing on the finish making this a rather enjoyable brew. Lingering maltiness and medium-bodied mouthfeel. Better than average fest bier.

Sep 18, 2003 Pellucid auburn color, light average head, simetrical but evaporative. Light caramel aroma with a touch of cinnamon and roast. Flavor is initially sweet but not overly complex. This finishes all the way to the end but is very watery and average for an oktoberfest.

Sep 16, 2003 Big, bubbly head on pour, leaving moderately quickly. There is a nice touch here that distinguishes it from the garden variety Oktoberfest, perhaps that there is a bit of the Mt. Hood hops in addition to the Saaz. A malty mouthfeel, slightly heavier than

Sep 7, 2003 Marzen Beers tend to be a little sweet, low in alcohol and a simple palate. This one succeeds with all of those characteristics but does so without distinction. The beer pours with a nice amber color and a tan head with medium staying power. The aroma is a subtle malt. The palate is dominated by a subtle sweetness, low in hops and a lingering bitterness. I would not go out of my way to drink this one, but it is drinkable if not inoffensive.
