Oct 5, 2006 Bottle. I have to say I’m not a big fan of Oktoberfest season, since I’m not crazy about the one-dimensional Marzen-style beers which are pumped out by every micro-brewey this time of year and which overtake every shelf of the beer store and several taps of every fine ale house, to the detriment of better all-year brews which they could have ordered instead. Nonetheless, I had some hope for this one since I appreciate Weyerbacher and since this was labled "Autumnfest Ale" as opposed to "Octoberfest lager." Alas, more of the same. Though this has an attractive clear amber color with a lasting head and fuller palate, there is the same basic, unexciting malty aroma and flavor of most Octoberfests. The elevated ABV may be a bonus for Halloween parties.

Oct 3, 2006 Bottle. Pours out a reddish orange color without much of a head at all. Smells malty and sweet, with a touch of fruitiness in the nose. Taste is sweet and rich, pretty smooth and very easy to drink. I was expecting worse, but actually this is a halfway decent beer. Id probably drink some more of it if given the chance.

Oct 3, 2006 Pours copper-amber with a thin tan head. Smells like tea, caramel, Vienna and Munich malts. Interesting herbal flavor with the Vienna and Bavarian malts clearly there. Flavor was toasty with a descent hops presense. Palate is pretty thick surprisingly. Pretty nice Oktoberfest.

Sep 22, 2006 Tan to red, clear with a thin white head. Big malty aroma, grape nuts and plumbs. Huge malty flavor as well, almost too malty. A touch of spicey hops in the finish, flavor lingers. Full bodied, thick and velvety. A little too heavy in the mouth, almost sweet. Good, but I think there’s just too much munich malt.

"Poured a nice golden color with a fluffy head. Aroma was very citrusy. For Flavor was very hoppy more so then other for this style. Aftertaste was more IPAish with grapefruit in there. I enjoyed this one just not sure if its in the right style."
