Objectively speaking: A clean lager that fails to be memorable.
I like: Agreeable toastiness surrounds the nose. Rather bright effervescence suffers a bit from the butterscotchy oiliness. Gently leafy hop closure.
I dislike: Not as refreshing as it could be. Rather sweet all around. Not so bright malt flavours extration.

My Bottom Line:
Toasted malts cover lightly fruity and herbal hops in this dryish and drinkable Oktoberfest.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the hazy deep amber.
-A touch of diacetyl is perceived in the nose, but it doesn’t appear in the flavor profile.
-The hops’ fruitiness is akin to citrus pulp at times.
-The mouthfeel is healthy and the flavor profile clean.
-Hops contribute lackluster bitterness in the finish.

Bottle.

Bouteille de 22 oz partagée lors d’une dégustation Ratebeer Montréal chez Rastacouere. Arôme: Odeur de céréales avec une pointe de beurre. Apparence: La couleur est orange voilée. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de céréales avec une pointe d’houblons et de beuure. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de caramel au beurre en arrière goût. (Rating #1878)

Bottle from Florian’s Market in Auburn. One of the first bottles of ’06 pours a dark golden amber with a hint of brown. Sweet malt and biscuit nose. Flavors are pretty standard german style, buttery and saltine-like flavors. Bitter aftertaste that as my sister called it "bad". I think it’s an average beer, not one i’d seek out again, but it’s still not horrid either.
