Dec 31, 2007 Eh... It’s ok doc. Not bad, not good. Bottle, pours a light brown. Aroma is sweet, lightly fruity, and a bit of spice. The flavor is almost exactly the same. It wasn’t a disappointment, but it wasn’t a great oktoberfest either.

Nov 30, 2007 Hazy dark amber/orange body with a small tan head. The nose is brown sugar, light raisins, light berry and bread. The flavor is lightly sweet, lightly tart with grape skins, brown sugar and a wet graininess that wasn’t at all pleasant. Medium/light body is thin and fizzy.

Nov 17, 2007 A little late for an Oktoberfest rating, but who gives a shit. Nice deep copper coloring, thin off white head. Sweet malts mesh nicely with caramel and fall fruit aromas. Light to medium bodied and highly drinkable. A very nice fall brew.

Nov 12, 2007 Pours a deep, clear, copper with a thin, tan head that quickly diminishes. It’s a pretty color. The nose is a bright, clean Munich malt front with a hint of fruity hops in the background. Light to medium-bodied and a touch "grainy" with a slightly astringent lingeringly toasty finish. The flavor is of toasted Munich malt and a touch of caramel with lightly fruity hops in the finish. If the it were just a touch smoother on the palate, this would be one of my favorite Märzens. As it stands, it’s still in the top tier of those that I’ve sampled to date.

Nov 7, 2007 Shocking that it has taken me this long to try a Sprecher beer. This seasonal pours a dark copper color with a medium light tan head that diminishes pretty quickly. Stringy lacing. Caramel malt aroma with touches of fruit and hops. Medium-bodied and smooth with roasted malt, caramel and plum flavors. Touches of mildly bitter hops are there as well. The finish is short and sweet with a caramel aftertaste. Overall this is an above average Oktoberfest.
