Oct 30, 2009 Bottle ( 12oz ). Shared by garthicus with me and blankboy. Light amber with a small frothy off-white head. Pungent and oily aroma (Goldings?), definitely cereal grain, a hint of iron/mineral. The taste is simple and clean - cereal grain, light floral bitterness with just a little citrus zestiness and roast, light alcohol presence. Slightly watery mouthfeel, mildly carbonated, with a fairly quick balanced finish - decent enough, that mineral aroma is a bit odd ...

Oct 30, 2009 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with blutt59. Pours a mostly clear orange gold with a thin-moderate tan head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left no lace. There is hardly any aroma to this beer. A few deep inhales reveals some very mild malt and that’s about it. Thankfully, this beer is more flavorful than the aroma suggests with malt, caramel and just a bit of brown sugar. Very mild bitterness at the finish. Not bad.

Oct 25, 2009 bottle, pours hazy amber with a medium off white head. Yeasty orange and nut aroma. Smooth creamy body of sweet orange juice and malt with a mild alcohol finish and a peppery spice in the end. Nice.

Oct 17, 2009 Sample at October 16, 2009 Beer Club Meeting. Amber color beneath a quickly receding head. Looks malty. Aroma of amber malt. Flavor is sweet ... the underside of my tongue is sweating. Almost has a smoky flavor to it. Dense... not bad.

Sep 29, 2009 Bottle form my buddy Bob, thanks. Pours a hazy amber with a thin off white head which leaves quickly. Leaves just rings of lacing. Has a faint aroma of caramel, some hops, and barley. Need to let this one settle and warm up for aromas. Has a decent carbonation. The flavor is decent and this is very refreshing. Nothing jumps out at you but its tasty. Has a medium body. The texture is watery. Has an okay finish with a light aftertaste.

Sep 17, 2009 Thanks to a certain Beer Company in Boston, I am a huge Oktoberfest fan. I am also a big supporter of local breweries. I got a keg of this stuff last year 08 and it was great, but this year 09 I picked up a 6 pack early and it is a big disappointment. Clearly not as good of a batch as it was last year, not quite sure what they changed. Looking forward to 2010...
