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. BrewingFan (82), Texas, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | 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... Fratto (740), Arlington, Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 14, 2009 Great Oktoberfest from Saint Arnold. My favorite regular Saint Arnold product. Hops and citrus are nice. TizzleJizzle (64), Garland, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 12, 2009 This is a well crafted Oktoberfest brew. Decent smell and an orange appearance which isn’t as dark as the usual Märzen. Flavor of sweet malts, barley, and of course caramel. Palate is smooth and slippery in context. All in all, this is a very enjoyable Oktoberfest and the 6% is appreciated. ‘Tis the season to be drunk! Cheers travita (1927), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 11, 2009 Orange in color, some sediment, light off white head. The smell is malts, caramel, light hops, sweet, and grainy. The taste is grains, malts, sweet, and cereal like. bhensonb (4339), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 2, 2009 Yet another bottle from ericandersnavy. Pours strongly copper with a few bubbles for head. Aromas of med roast caramel, citrus, and perhaps noble hop. Near full in body with almost chewy carbonation. Flavor is primarily med roast malt with a touch of citrus, and a very little bitterness. Goes a bit nutty in the finish. Interesting. durhambeer (1219), Durham, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 1, 2009 A nice 70-degree breezy day helped set the mood for this beer, for sure. First of the coming fall, and first marzen as well. Poured bright orange with attractive beige creamy head. Nose and taste sweet, creamy, with orange flavor and crisp hops. Solid take on the style.
