Nice malt, head disipates quickly and the best part of this beer is the finish. It is ordinary up to that point but satifies in the" Weyerbacher different than everyone else" way. bisgute (5), USA does not count | 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 23, 2006 Nice autumn beer.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 5, 2006 Updated: Sep 2, 2006Re-rate, 9/06: I don’t know where I got the hop tones the first time round, although this rich malty beer was balanced by some spicing and light hopping. Appearance wasn’t glamorous, small head and weak lacing, knocking that down one. The aroma was rich malty, toasted notes, fairly typical for the style. The flavor followed suit with the malty base bringing out a touch of spices and a sweetness that was almost grape like (light citrus). Good toast / spice balance. Original rating ’05: Poured an amber orange color with a generous initial head (especially within style) that laced great. The aroma was slightly pine-like with a malty base detectable. Flavor was malty, but uniquely biased towards a hoppiness typical of an American Pale Ale, maybe even an IPA. A very creative approach, with the malty base yielding to a citrus (some grapefruits) and lightly pine-like hoppy finish (but not overdone at all). Refreshing after running quite a few Oktoberfests this season already.
