| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 26, 2008 12 oz bottle. Nicely carbonated amber color. Aroma is malty and bready, but not overpowering. Malty and a little sweet, with what tastes like a bitter hit of noble hops at the end. Way too easy to drink. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 13, 2008 Bottle 120z. Deep amber brown pour with sweet malty nose. Right on stylistically. Malt sweetness, bready, buscuit, carmel, butter (diacetyl) and all the flavor you expect in a fest. well done lads. dogfish120love (289), west hartford, Connecticut, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 5, 2008 sweet, watery, malty. pale orange in color almost dark golden nectarine looking Aurelius (2655), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 26, 2008 Unimpressive and slightly stinky toasted malt aroma which turns powdery once you pour. Good breadcrust red-brown color, sponge rubber head, plain label. An interesting flavor, following their blonde ale - a little peppery, a little green grain, very light anise or fennel. A light sweetness, slightly astringent, toasted malt. The only major flaw was a lingering metallic malt in the spicy finish. This is a good pairing with oniony or garlicky food. Distinctive, and better as it warms. Drinkable in quantity. Goodgrief (1161), Middletown, Delaware, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 1, 2008 Special thanks to eaglefan538 for this one. I feel kind of funny rating an Oktoberfest Lager this high, but this was really darned good. Poured with huge head and lacing that clung to the glass throughout (I coulda even given this a 10 really). Aroma and flavor was sweet caramel malt with butter biscuit flavoring. Just the right amount of bitterness and carbonation. For the style, it can’t get much better. SSSteve (2105), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
