| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | 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. TheBeerGod (3177), Newport News, Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 12, 2003 Updated: Aug 5, 2004Pours a reddish bronze with a tall tan head. Nose is lightly malted but no spice is evident. The tongue is nutty and malted but definitely more hops than a German Octoberfest beer. Good to see a little spin on a standard style. Finishes with a little bit crisp hoppiness. Not overly complex, but a good beer nonetheless. DougShoemaker (2856), Toronto, Canada
