Sep 28, 2005 On tap.
Spicey malt nose, golden amber? Small custard head. Flavour starts off a pleasant dusty, malt, followed by crusty bread. Medium bodied, nice mouthfeel, mildly sweet. Fine.

Sep 28, 2005 Unfortunately thin bodied, and overall lacking in taste. Missing the firm maltiness I expected, instead found it more hoppy than anything. Really a bizarre entry into the style.

Sep 18, 2005 Bottle from Lou18. Pours a crystal clear, medium-amber color with a touch of copper thrown in. Really nice off-white head leaves good lacing. Aroma is a bit funky, perhaps stale. Sweet malt is present and then something dark and foreboding, funky and stale?? Lighter side of medium bodied. Taste is a lesson in German punishment. Malty for sure and then a tonic water-like flavor that seems to dominate. Really a rather tragic brewing accident. Not pleasant.

Sep 17, 2005 A disappointing marzen altogether. Very non-descript aroma, very light hay-like color with no head. Somewhat boring and light, with an uncomfortable bitterness. Disappointing.

Sep 10, 2005 Freshly plucked at Cable Beverages in Suffern, New York. Nice copper colour, very little head. Nothing in aroma, only some alcohol. Ok to drink, a bit of taste, average beer. Very thin, some refreshment, not much.Least liked by moi of the brewery’s products.

Sep 6, 2005 Bottle. Copper and clear with a decent head and adequate lacing. Not much in the way of aroma. Some malts, some caramel and a little bit o hops. A slight nuttiness too. Mouthfeel is watery and thin. Flavor is also rather light, but it gets better toward the end of the bottle. At first it’s dry and ... well, that’s about it. Toward the end, it’s more hoppy and sweet. Not too bad at that point. All in all, there are better Oktoberfests out there.

Sep 6, 2005 Bottle. Fairly typical Oktoberfest, nothing too out-of-the-ordinary. First beer I’ve had from this brewery. Pretty thin, not a whole lot stands out about this one.

Aug 30, 2005 My first Octoberfest of the year was a disappointment. This beer was rather thin and watery, with a dry finish. Not much to the color or body, and the flavor was not what I expect from an Octoberfest. Overall, a bit below average.
