| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 18, 2005 Aroma is semi-sweet fruit, mostly cherry and apricot, with bready malt overtones. Expansive malt body hints at toffee and caramel with an underbody of slight yeast fruitiness. Creamy mouthfeel, hinges on buttery, but never syrupy. The almost nutty finish is not at all cloying, instead finishing clean and leaving me wanting more. What a great session brew! MAP (1089), Lakewood, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 9, 2005 Very attractive dark copper-reddish color. Aroma is sweet malt, cherries, grass and sugar. The flavor comes off as a hearty ’fest beer that is rich and sweet all at the same time. Body is crisp and has a decent hop flavor towards the end where the cherry flavor comes in, a hint of oak is there as well. This is a really enjoyable example of the style. juliejalapeno (16), USA

| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Sep 2, 2005 Wow-eee!! Outstanding beer!! This is what an Oktoberfest is all about! Beautiful rich coppery red, nice head, great mouth feel, perfect carbonation, the sweetness and dryness that interplay and make it a definition session beer. Doesn’t get any better! Just put on draft at the Bodega downtown La Crosse. Juelze (922), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 30, 2005 Pours a nice ruby red, little head. Smells of caramel malt and slight fruity and nutty notes. Slightly watery in the finish. Smooth and refreshing. twindadplus2 (417), Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 29, 2005 Coppery brown with a big, quickly diffusing head. Big nutty aroma with lots of sweet caramel and roasted malt. Smooth, tihick and full bodied, with nice, light carbonation. Flavor is a very nice balance of roasted malt, caramel and floral, slightly spicy hops. The hops linger right through to the finish for a nice ending. Very enjoyable.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 29, 2005 Right after opening the first bottle, I could smell how roasted the taste would be. Roasted nuts, toast, and caramel all make an impact here. Body is a bit oily, making for very rich pulls. Each sip finishes with a crisp taste of hops. Overall, very nice balance.
