| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours an orangey-brown. Scent can be kinda offputting...not sure what it is about it. Taste is meh. Bitterness, but not a good, hoppy bitterness. Not really sure how to pinpoint it, but this just isn’t very good. I won’t be buying it again. blutt59 (2147), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Poured iced tea brown with a nice one finger beige head. Peppery aroma with some earthiness. Flavor was earthy, mild pepper, mild bitterness. I thought this was a great example of an octoberfest beer and reminded me of Germany. Leighton (299), New York, New York, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 2, 2009 Bottle pour, Burlington Hilton. We have a decent Oktoberfest beer in the Otter Creek offering, but not one I would select again if I had other options. Warm maple syrup brown with a medium head, aroma of sweet malts. Taste is sweet, with notes of Autumn spices. Pretty smooth finish. stephenj007 (35), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 30, 2009 Bottle pour was very appealing....nice frothy, tan head that lasted to the end, great looking clear, reddish-brown color. Aromas of smooth roasted, slighty nutty malts. Maybe just a hint of spice or citrus. Just the right portions of malt and a subtle hops finish. Very well balanced brew....Very drinkable, and not filling like some Fall brews. I will be picking up a couple more 6-packs before it’s gone. This is now one of my favorite Oktoberfest brews!

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Sep 29, 2009 Well it is that time of year again for the marzens. This is a style that shows just how much malt can mean for a beer and that is is not all about the hops. Otter does a decent one here with classic light brown color and a good grain smell. Good refreshment value on this, I got it down pretty quickly at the ottercreek stand at the Big E ericandersnavy (1131), crossroads, Texas, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 29, 2009 2009 batch sampled on tap. The pour is nice looking copper hue with a thin, longer lasting white head. The aroma speaks of more sweet malts than hops but the flavor is just the opposite with an attack of fresh hops followed by the malts. A citrus note gives it that added crispy clean impression. Nicely done.
