Oct 27, 2008 Rich, coppery color. Pleasant malty/hoppy flavor. This is an outstanding Oktoberfest/ marzen.

Oct 23, 2008 12oz. bottle: This one pours a very clear copper color. There was a very small white head on it that went away almost immediately. The aroma is caramel malt, and some slightly spicy hops. It has a very clean and crisp taste. Caramel malts with some spiciness. It is a very well executed Oktoberfest.

Oct 22, 2008 I don’t think you can take much artistic license with an Oktoberfest, and this one doesn’t...it sticks with a formula and delivers a clean, crisp beer that makes me think of it as what an Oktoberfest should be. It is a rich copper color, has nice pilsner-like head, and an aroma that malty and light without being grainy or cerealy or overly malt-ball sweet. Flavor is crisp and malty, with a nice structure and noticeable hoppiness. Mouthfeel is quite clean with just a touch of metallic tang. It is really quite nice.
I would recommend this beer. Best Oktoberfest I’ve had in recent memory. I bought this bottle at Three Cellars in Franklin, WI.

Oct 8, 2008 Pours dark reddish copper with thin tan head that fades fast. Aroma of caramel and some roast malts, slight citrus hops. Flavor has a bit more hops than I am used to in an octoberfest and its really quite enjoyable. Starts off with roast malt, lime citrus hops, and an earth mustiness that adds alot of charater. FInish is some sweetbread malts and bitter hops. Overall a great marzen.

Oct 6, 2008 Pours an amber hue with a one-fingered, tan head. Has a nice flavor of roasted malts, caramel and a crisp hoppy finish. This might be the best Oktoberfest I’d had. A nicely balanced brew that is very easy to drink.

Oct 5, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a nice amber color with golden highlights and an off white head that has nice lacing. Aroma is of faint caramel maltiness. Flavor is a nice "sharp" caramel malt flavor with a slight hop bitterness at the end. Very smooth and balanced beer. It is a good Oktoberfest but I was hoping for a little more.

Sep 29, 2008 Pour is clear orange/golden with a fluffy off white head. Aroma is lightly malty with a medium clean hop aroma. Flavor is damn smooth of very lightly roasted barley, light spice, light hop, and a somewhat sweet finish. Real smooth creamy brew. Extremely easy drink. Would drink again.

Sep 27, 2008 Updated: Oct 21, 2008Crushed with Jakebra. Very nice, intense and malty aroma is misleading because there’s not much flavor here. Still, it’s okay for a Oktoberfest.
