Oct 2, 2007 Bottle: Pours a medium gold amber, good amount of bubbles float to the top,
a white and off-white head that dissipates for the most part after a few minutes,
nice malt and sweet aromas, faint toasted malt fragrances, same flavor as the aromas with
a little bread flavor, good mouth feel and pretty dry on the end.

Oct 1, 2007 Pours an amber colour with a small tan head. Aroma of citrus hops and nuts. Initial taste begins with grapefruit hops with only slight hint of malts. Finishing with a nutty (almond) bitter hop. Good head retention and decent palate duration.

Sep 29, 2007 I can definitely detect the amber quality here with a bitter almost tobacco-like malty tartness present. There is a hoppy earthyness in the flavor but the lingering tart quality overrules it unfortunately. The texture has some chewiness so all is not lost.

Sep 23, 2007 Pours copper and hazy with a tan head. Smells of caramel and hints of citrussy hops. Tastes of toffee and molasses with touches of peppery bitterness.

Sep 22, 2007 From bottle pours amber color with a good amount of head. Nice sweeting warming flavor, with a short lived aftertaste.

Sep 16, 2007 I picked this up during a recent visit to DC (Norm’s Beer & Wine, Vienna, VA).
I would say that it is a very average version of this style. If you’re a fan of Oktberfests I suppose it is a commendable example of the style, but I didn’t find too much that was unique or extraordinarily redeemable in this beer.
It poured a nice copper color, smelled a bit of caramel, and was a somewhat pleasant caramel-cereal-ly in its flavor.
Not bad.

Sep 15, 2007 Bottle. Pours a standard ruby orange in color. This "fest" is a little less malty than most and a little more hoppy. There is a little bit of a dry fruity character. A very decent micro brewed marzen.

Sep 3, 2007 Oct. 2005 review - Poured brownish gold color with smallish head but nice lacing. Aroma wasn’t much going on. The taste was a nice full, but not overly bitter lager. I had to knock this down, though, because there wasn’t much by way of taste to suggest oktoberfest. I tasted very little spiceyness. If this were just a "Stoudt Lager", I probably would have given it higher markings (it was quite good), but just not much "Oktobery" going on.
