Growler from brewery. Light nut brown appearance. A little lighter color than most Oktoberfests I’ve seen. Thin foamy,dissapearing head. Plain light spicy aroma, wasn’t too great. Flavor was the best part about this beer. Good spices, caramel. A little dull. Not bad

12 oz bottle. Bright, very clear orange (identical to the color on the label, that’s kinda cool), medium snowy head...smooth indistinct malty nose...moderately sweet flavor, light acidic quality and a bit of dried herbs..fairly dry, drinkable but predictable and dull.

GIBF 2004: Clear light amber with a small white head, sweet aroma with hint of light fruits. Starts sweet and ends sweeter, too sweet if you ask me, medium bodied.

Draft at CAH. Copper color, very nice, long lasting compact white head. Aroma was faint but malt oriented. Flavor was a pleasant toasty malt accent, with a delicate Okt hop finish. Well balanced. Very nice.

Bottle, from Julio’s. Bottle code 4.223. Good nose, sourdough, corn, carmel, little cherry or apple. Got a kinda odd initial scent before becoming itself. Clean orangy copper color. Small to no head. Bittersweet flavors, metallic. lime, bitterness. Little nutty, toffee malt. Sourdough too. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Sour bitter finish. Not my cup of tea, er beer. Doesn’t make me want another.

Draft at Capital Ale House Innsbrook. Comes in at 5.5% ABV. Copper colored body with a small white head. Aroma is hoppier and fruitier than expected. There is a malty and bubblegum like aroma coming through as well. Taste is light hops with stronger fruit notes and light sweetness and malts. There are some berry flavors along with some light spiciness as well. Body is medium with mild carbonation sharpness. Finishes hopped and fruity with lighter sweetness and spice.

2004 bottle @ Sunset Grill. Pours a moderately deep orange-copper. Very clear with a small lightly yellow tinged white head. Aroma of caramel corn, butter and lightly spicy hops. Flavor is quite sticy, buttery and pretty toffeeish. Good overall flavor of malt with a touch of hops hidden. As it warms, you can taste the light hops on the finish which give a good deal of flavor. Not overly crisp, more sticky and chewy, but at least it had a medium to medium full body which didnt thin out. Pretty tastey.

Bottle. Very grassy saaz hop notes in the nose along with some caramel malts. Slightly metallic. Transparent copper color with a nice frothy jubilant white head. Caramel malts to start turning more roasted in the middle with a nice Saaz kick at the finish. Decent, but a little thin.
