Dec 24, 2002 This big beer series is awesome. All I’ve tried so far have been terrific. This octoberfest is, of course, malty. Full, well rounded body, light hoppiness, very well done beer. One of my favorite octoberfests.

Nov 30, 2002 22OZ bottle, fresh off the shelf 2002: This is the best Oktoberfest I’ve had all year. Sweet malty nose with a patter of smokey spice, smooth as silk, clear orange color. Finishes so clean you’d swear you were in Germany. +0.4 from last time. Old rating: I enjoyed this more than the Pete’s Octoberfest. The aftertaste took a bit away from it.

Nov 17, 2002 Sweet candied malt aroma, ruby colour, tiny vanilla head. Robust, candied malt and raisins flavour. Some bitterness, sweet, full bodied. Fair.

Nov 13, 2002 Has a nice amber color and a malty smell to it. The malt conitnues in to the taste and finishes with a mild bitterness. Overall I did not like this beer too much. It didn’t have much flavor to me. Maybe I got a bad bottle...

Nov 1, 2002 Wow. This stuff is dynamite. Pure, crisp body. Light bronze in color with quickly fading head. Sharp. Caramel malt note is very tastefully done. Just a bit more hops than typical for this style, but it is very well blended with the rich malts. Very fine, pleasant nose. Malty and buttery, but never cloying: just like the body. Smooth. Perhaps just a hint of smokiness, just a speck. The best beer I have had in a long, long time. Excellent.

Oct 14, 2002 Medium-dark amber, very clear, small fast-thinning head. Slightly smoky, malty nose is rather indistinct. Flavor also somewhat smoky, more bitter than usual but not extraordinarily so, thinnish body. OK.

Oct 12, 2002 This is a very festive beer indeed. The beer looks like fall in a glass. Malty and smooth with a slight noble hop finish. Very good.
