A full rich bodied, hoppy, seasonal lager. Especially brewed for the Festbier season. This beer truly represents the Bavarian way of celebrating. Deep gold color, great mouthfeel and lots of flavor. Prost!

Initial veggie cabage aroma. Clears into an acceptable clean smell in the glass. Fairly bitter on the tongue, more than I expected. Clear pale yellow color. Thin teafroth head. Nice looking bottle label, entertaining. Fine creamy carbonation. Lingering bitter biting back palate. Refreshing in its own acceptable way. Not heavy. Not as good as many other smoother octoberfests such as Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen or Schells.

Pours gold into a stein. Bright white head recedes to hug rim. Cereal and biscuit aromas. Sweet caramel malt upfront with a dry, lasting cookie finish.

On draft at Flat Rock Saloon. Poured clear with a skim of head. Looked like some typical beat ass pilsner. Astringent bug spray finish. Really not worth drinking.

pours gold with a small white head. Cereal grain and apple aroma. Similar flavor, some grassy hops and earth. Mildly sweet finish...

(Draught at St Urho’s Pub, Helsinki, on 2008-09-11) Pale golden. Clear. Small quickly disappearing white head. Some grass and malts in nose. Medium bodied fresh palate with lot of carbonation. Sweetness, malts, hint of grass and bitterness in taste. Easy to drink.

12 oz bottle from EZ Liquors. Pours looking like a standard macro, clear pale golden yellow body with bubbly carbonation and an average size frothy foamy bright white head. Aroma of grains, sweet dough, dust, lemons and old cellar. Thin watery bodied with average to strong carbonation. Flavor of bread and grains with a slight touch of burnt rubber and some hop bitterness at the end. Bleh.

33 cl bottle. Pours with hardly any lasting head in an Ayinger glass. Aroma is light grains/cereal. Flavor has a sweet, honey taste with toasty biscuit. Not the best beer out there by far. Finish has a metallic flavor.
