Feb 9, 2009 Despite the fairly high ratings, did not particularly impress me. Dark orange-amber color with a white head. Lots of malt on the aroma. Very malty; slightly sweet caramel malts and a tea-like flavor to it. Pilsner-like grain flavor and mild hoppiness. I’ll take a Sam Adams Octoberfest over this one.

Jan 31, 2009 I have to say, I bought up nearly all the stocks at my local beer store.. kept going back because this one went down so well... would love to have it on a year round basis! Great malty aroma and flavor. excellnet hop bitterness to malty sweetness ration. Good head retention, and a really smooth on the palate! I have to say, this is my favorite Oktoberfest as of this review!

Jan 23, 2009 Pours a clear dark amber, with a light off-white head that doesn’t stick around too long. Nose is slightly bready, sweet caramel. taste follows suit - a nice, light, sweet breadiness couples with a lightly sweet caramel note. Very drinkable. Carbonation is middle of the road, over a medium light body, with just a hint of stickiness. Nice beer.

Jan 8, 2009 11.2 oz. bottle, consumed on 1-4-09. Musty aroma features bran muffin and continental European hops scents. Pours a clear, dull brass color with a small amount of thin beige head and good lacing. Flavor of lemon, butter, pie crust, honey, flowers, and pomegranate. Lingering sweetness. Light body. Creamy in the palate and reasonably lively. Not as crisp as many other lagers but still crisper than an ale. Easy to drink.
