Poured beige head, great retention and lacing. Good malt backbone to support the hops. The mouthfeel was on par with other Octoberfests.
Overall, an excellent beer brentfeesh (1039), Gadsden, Alabama, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 26, 2006 Sampled at the 10th annual Brewgrass festival in Ashville. Clear amber pour. Big bubbly, thick, creamy head. Good looking. Syrupy and malty sweetness and toasted malt. Just like an Oktoberfest should smell in my opinion. Lightly sweet roasted malt with the presence of well balanced pine and spicy hops (especially in the finish). Body is creamy and somewhat sticky (which detracts) with a dry finish. Not too bad, quite drinkable. aracauna (2418), Georgia, USA
