| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 23, 2009 Light caramel color, pretty tame and unassuming. Pretty mellow aroma, some caramel also, dry wood. Some thistle nectar, gentle sweetness, walnut shell structure and mild easy finish. I’m finding out that I don’t dig lagers but I like Oktoberfests. What’s up with that? dkachur (2422), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 11, 2009 Poured from a bottle. Thin white head that dissipates quickly. Yellow-orange transparent body. Smell was kind of weak, with a little bit of spices and malts. Flavor was kind of thin, not a lot happening. Gets better as it warms but still just a hit of malts at first, then not much of a finish. Very drinkable beer with good body.
