12 oz bottle. pours an opaque orange/amer with medium tight white head. has aroma of malt toast and somewhat estery. Why does it say Ale on the label? Octoberfest has always been lagers. Especially there version..Tastes less dry and crisp. some of the malkt flavor gets lost in these esters anfinishes less dry than i remember.

Bottle. Poured a clear copper color with a small white head. Aroma of caramel. Flavor was caramel malt with a citrusy finish.

.5 L bottle. Aroma of grain and caramel malt, mild fruitiness, and some citrus lemon. A very large, fizzing, tan cream head on the pour that entirely dissipates rather quickly, good amount of carbonation, pumpkin orange in color. A similar malt presence to that in the aroma, but the hop backing gives this a beer a semi-off grassy-weedy flavor that I don’t especially enjoy, though the finish isn’t as bad with a sticky lemon-citrus coming through. Was hoping for better, but I suppose I’ll live to drink another beer, another day.

Copper color with a thick head. Smells like carbon dioxide. Tastes like carbonated water with some malt. It’s palatable, I guess, but ultimately this is a waste of malt and hops.

Pours a cooper color with a thick tan foamy head.. Aroma of Oak, Malt and Hops. Taste is a little watery. Nut much going on here.

on tap @ papago... pours a dark woody bronze-ish copper. clear with a slight white head. the aroma is not faint... it just doesn’t have much going on. caramel ( and lots of it), grain and earthy spice are about it. the palate is quite caramel-y and sweet while the flavor falls into the ’not much else’ catagory... maybe some light earthy yeast and a spiced finish. prickly carbonation. thick mouth feel but only because of the sugars. sweet and sticky... not refreshing or satisfying.
