Pours a slightly hazy amber with a half finger off-white head. The nose is caramel and brown sugar. The taste is more caramel, toasted malt and light grassy hops in the finish. Light-to-medium bodied. Decent Marzen – thanks G-Unit. RHeastings (407), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 25, 2009 Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle. Appearance was typical of an Oktoberfest style - brown in hue. The flavor was somewhat of a change from past examples, not necessarily bad, but bordering on being outside of the style. Overall, not the best offering from an excellent brewery.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 18, 2009 bottle - Pours clear light amber with a one finger off white head. It has a bready, caramel malt aroma. The flavor is sweet, rich caramel malt with just a touch of fruitiness. it finishes with very mild hops presence. This very quaffable medium bodied brew is a good example of the style. TearsforBeers (173), Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 12, 2009 Pours out a nice clear orangy amber that reminds me of pumpkins and ancient bugs. Also has disappearing white head. Smells like a nice Oktoberfest which is past its prime, which makes sense since this is several months out. It’s got nice sweet malt, roasty, chestnut, and bread notes. The taste is like the aroma good bready malt, with Oktoberfest sweetness. The palate is pretty thin, but enjoyable. Overall this is a fine brew, another good one from Victory. danielcurtis81 (900), San Diego, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Feb 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours a crystal clear pale brown with some small bubbling. Bready pretzel-like nose with a strong malt character (caramel?). Flavors are very sweet malt. Very simple. Mouth is a little sticky from all the sweetness. Nothing special but an okay brew!
