Slightly darker than the typical American lager, perhaps like a yuengling in appearance. Not much aroma but I have a stuffy nose. Taste is not really octoberfest like in any way. Festive, yes but not offensive, friendly in its own personality. Rather mild but has an industrial effect that nears bitter on the palate front. Decent carbonation, it certainly is noticeable. Finish is rather behaved and controlled but that industrial mild bitterness keeps rearing it’s head. Overall; easy to drink and above average in quality. However, this is smooth enough that you would never know this is above 6%. Can’t hold a candle to Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 5, 2007 This beer pours copper with a nice head. Notes of yeast and malt on the nose and then the sweeter flavor of some carmale and toffee on the palate. A nice lasting finish. adrian910ss (1435), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 16, 2007 Pours a clear amber orange with a medium beige head. Aroma of candied malts, yeast, caramel and a hint of tartness. Taste is of candied malts, caramel, a bit of autumn spice and a bit of tart. A slight not too tangy orange peel finish. Not bad, but not overly exciting either. coldbrewky (736), Saugerties, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 21, 2007 Found this one today in the cooler of the local rip and run. A nice summer drinking beer too if you ask me. Yet it seems that Weyerbacher is better at their big honkin brews. This beer is very average and does not stand out but is far from swill. grandet (486), Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 25, 2007 Updated: Jan 11, 2009OK, I’m probably drinking this a little bit late (February), but oh well. From a 12 oz’er, this poured with the appearance of fall ... bright and orange, with a thin cloud cover. The aroma is light and airy with almost a sense of a gourd. Sweet, to be sure, very much in the Vienna-Fest family, with light caramel all around the edges. This of course isn’t doing anything to warm my blood on this frigid wet February evening, but it would probably be a nice session beer for a cool crisp fall night when the leaves are just starting to fall down.
