Oct 1, 2008 Pours deep amber into a shaker. Bright white micro head recedes at a medium pace to hug rim. Caramel and candy corn aromas. Soft with caramel from front to back. Lasting malt finish. A great Oktoberfest session beer. Next.

Sep 30, 2008 This would make a great session beer. Very smooth drinkability, enjoyable with an overall smooth mouthfeel. The use of true German hops makes this beer a nice choice for Octoberfest celebrations.

Sep 29, 2008 12 oz. bottle on 09/29/2008. Clear amber pour, medium off white head, decent lace. Caramel and floral hops in the aroma. Rich malty sweetness starts off, soft bitterness provides a welcome balance. Medium body and carbonation, sight syrupy character initially, but finishes fairly clean. Smooth, easy drinking. Good example of a tradtional Marzen.

Sep 27, 2008 Pours copper / orange with a large rocky khaki head. The aroma has lots of sweet caramel malt, toffee and biscuits. Medium / fully body with quite a bit of semi-soft carbonation. The flavor starts with caramel malt, some sweetness, but not as much as most marzens, some spice and cracker. The finish shows a bit of spicy hops and is a bit drier. Good for the style.

Sep 27, 2008 I think this was on e of the first Victory beers I ever drank. Just never got around to officially rating Festbier. Amber US style O-Fest caramel malts, earthy with medium body. Enjoyable, middle of the road and higher alcohol than I anticipated.
