CONTAINER TYPE: bottle (20th anniversary)
FRESH: 6186 puts it around
the 4th of july so it’s 2.5 months old now
PURCHASED @: Binny’s
COST: $6.49 6pack sale
HEAD:
none; slight yellow; did a very vigorous pour and it diminished quicly
LACE: rings slide
quickly down side
COLOR:
REFLECTED- Beautiful Copper
TRANSMITTED- mostly clear
AROMA: caramel
malts w/ hint of skunk
MOUTHFEEL: medium
PALATE: slimey; sparkling carbonation (nice while
drinking; but too much for my stomach later)
TASTE: Bittersweet at first w/ long bitter
aftertaste; something is off for me about the sweet. There is a tinny/metallic note that is
too much present. This is like if you blended Blue Moon / Heineken / Boddington’s
together.
COMMENTS: Let this get to somewhere between fridge-temp and room-temp and it tastes
the best for me. It’s a good quality brew. Take care of the metallic taste and balance it
a bit more and it would be a great brew for me. It has a full character. Pretty smooth
once you get going. Watch out though 2 of them pack a decent punch.

Sep 23, 2006 A decent Oktoberfest with a kick to it. A deep copper color with a malty and hop aroma. For an Oktoberfest, this had too much hop, and that’s coming from a complete hop lover. It’s a good drinking beer, but needs more malt to be a better Oktoberfest.

Sep 21, 2006 12oz bottle: Skunk and malt aroma, thin. Lacking that special something that makes a really good oktoberfest bier. Disappointing, but I guess I’ll drink it anyway. I’d rather have Ayinger’s about now..

Sep 19, 2006 I did not care for this beer. Had an after taste I could do without. Again, similar to the Redhook Late Harvest, I expected more from a seasonal. Poured copper, with decent head, average lacing.
