Nice color and head, and a great smooth taste. This is one of those beers that goes down a little too easily, you’ll be through your third before you even realize it.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 13, 2004 On Tap at brewery. Reddish amber in color with a beige head. A nice malty, toasty aroma. Caramel, a hint of chocolate,a bit of hops, not overly sweet. A classic version jpm30 (1588), East Central, Georgia, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 15, 2006 From a 12 oz. twist cap stubby brown bottle with a notched bottle date, September, along the right side of label, fall ’06 release.
Poured a cloudy reddish/orangey brown with a foamy topped, creamy light tan head that settled into a thin lacing.
Aromas of toasted grains, sweet caramel, a brief whiff of alcohol and a subtle floral hop.
Good, even carbonation for an Oktoberfest and a malty crisp, dryish, creamy smooth medium bodied mouthfeel.
Delicious Oktoberfest taste, toasted grain, sweet caramelized malts, a light sweet breadiness as well, the hops have a spicy, honey-like quality that cut underneath the malts and adds to the flavor, a very brief flash of alcohol towards the end and a dry grainy and malty finish.
The best American Oktoberfest I’ve had this fall, fresh tasting and an easy, quaffable drinkability, I purchased two sixes of this and I am going to have to go back for more. I have to agree with the other reviews, get this was it’s fresh. Another example that Millstream knows what they are doing when it comes to German style lagers.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 11, 2007 Not too much aroma. This is nice. Has a crisp dry bite up front but with a fair amount of malty sweetness. Yum. nuplastikk (1259), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 10, 2009 12oz shorty bottle. Filtered orange-amber color with a fluffy off white-head. Classic Oktoberfest aroma, deep malts and noble hops. Bitter upfront, but quickly fades into a sweet creamy finish. Quite an excellent example of the style, certainly a tad underrated thus far. Medium bodied, lots of thick malt tones. Almost an orange-vanilla yeasty creaminess. Clean, fresh, and full of flavor. Solid. ElGaucho (1730), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Dec 10, 2006 Bottle. Malty sweet aroma. No visible carbonation. Copper body. Small, off-white ring. Full bodied marzen. Pretty good balance with some sweetness. A little over carbonated, but this brew followed a several day old growler of Little Apple Prairie Pale Ale which was somewhat flat. Not bad at all. Even has a hint of hops.
