Deep copper to brown in color with a thin head. The nose was spicy with soft malt aromas. Medium to light and lacking concentration in the midpalate. Smooth and easy to drink but I was hoping for more flavor.

Oct 10, 2008 Growler. Poured copper golden with a clear thin white head that laces the glass lightly. Aroma is sweet caramel malts. A hint of floral hops upfront with a sweet body and a very dry finish. Nice. Creamy in the mouth, full and nicely carbonated. nice Oktoberfest.

Oct 23, 2006 Served mid-copper colored under a thin, sandy head. Muted aroma strains to find delicate roasts and mild caramel. Balanced flavor leans towards malts and finishes clean with a hint of bitters. Not bad, but a bit unsatisfying.

Oct 9, 2006 <i>Draft from growler.</i> I got the growler for a party, and it got warm by the time I poured it; then they ran out before I could try a fresh sample. But what I had was pretty nice: malty, of course, and a little bit grainy. Good Okto color that would fit in well with fall colors if it were served later in the year. A warmer sample brings up some more good German bitterness.
