Pours clear golden brown with nice off-white head. Aroma is caramel, malt, some hops. Flavor is mostly caramel, but a bit watery. I remember this being more flavorful in years past, but not bad overall.

Draught: so I was pleasantly surprised with this one as I was really in the mood for a beer. A bockish, malty flavor dominates with a cream, slightly sweet finish. The combination of sweet with the malt made this chuggable.

Pours nice amber color with a thin tan head that dissipates quickly. There is little lacing to speak of. The smell is of bready malt. The taste reflects the bready malt with a twinge of smooth caramel in the finish. The carbonation is a bit on the heavy side, but not oppressive. This brew goes down very smoothly and clings a bit from the heavy malt. Overall this is a pleasant harvest brew that is very easy to drink and have several of. There is not all that much to it and is rather one dimensional, but well worth the purchase as a fall staple. Reviewed on: 10-22-2008

Overall this was my favorite Octoberfest beer of the season. Very consistent. Good malty taste. Almost creamy texture. Smooth and very drinkable.

On tap at a Ruby Tuesday’s. Very nice copper pour, with a decent white head. Very nice malty aroma, smooth flavor. Not a bad beer.
