Oct 25, 2009 From a 12oz. bottle poured into a Lager glass at 40°. Color is a deep gold with light carbonation and a small head. Aroma is sweet with malt and caramel. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a rich feel. Finish is a sweet candy corn malt taste backed with a hop spice and mellow bitterness. After taste lets the malt come back out for just a moment then leaves you with a smooth feel. Overall its a well done brew just not a style I really like.

Oct 21, 2009 Bottle via trade thanks to badbeer on BA. Pours a clear light amber color with a foamy one-finger white head. Aroma is caramel, grain, earth, and mild toast. Flavor is pretty well-balanced, but not amazing, with sweet caramel malt, mild roast, earth, toffee, and some hop bitterness. Palate is smooth and crisp, and body is medium-light. This is nice for the style, but nothing to write home about overall.

Oct 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours a crystal clear amber-orange with a soapy white heat. Aromas of caramel and grain, some earthy goodness. Flavors of caramel and toast with a grainy finish. Nice example of the style from NG!

Light aroma and flavor, but nothing offensive. Body is a little thin and watery though. An average beer, but not a great Oktoberfest. I didn’t pick up on any of the "toasty" flavors several others have mentioned. Overall, light, but drinkable.

Oct 13, 2009 A good sized sample courtesy of Clint at the South Loop taproom (Chicago, IL). Pours a very nice caramel orange amber, a light haze, decent offwhite head that laces fairly well, sticks around a suitable amount. Aromas are a good crisp graininess, caramel sweetness, toffee, toast, a touch of spice, and a feeling of fall. Initial is a bit roasty and toasty, breaking free to caramel and toffee sweetness to balance, light bitterness, nothing too crazy on the spice. A good nose, a good sessionable fall lager that provides pretty solid flavors and sessionability. Perhaps a little typical for the style, but a solid beer I’d drink again soon. Cheers.

Oct 13, 2009 Bottle thanks to Bigmmartin. Pours an amber color with red hues when held up to the light. Aroma is caramelized malts. Notes of some autumn spices come out as well. On the palate, it is much lighter than I expected. The flavor brings out the sweet malts and leaves an aftertaste of caramel. Not a favorite, kinda let me down.
