Feb 10, 2004 Bottle pours a reddish copper color with a soapy like white head. Carbonation and lacing are minor. Visible sediment floating in the glass. Faint grainy/malty aroma. Some horse blanket in there as well. Initial taste proves malty, a bit of brown sugar, and an earthy feeling. Finish falls flat, with perhaps a bit of a wet cardboard and grapfruit. Not bad, but not really impressed either.

Dec 31, 2003 Quite light for a festbier and not so well balanced as I expected.Pleasant but blander than most beers of this type.

Jul 13, 2003 Bottled. We cut our teeth on this last night as well. Pleasantly refreshing, lightly hopped aroma with interest. I’d be tell porky’s if I said I noted more than that.

Mar 13, 2003 Bottled. Amber gold, good white fluffy head and moderate condition. Caramel and crystal malt aromas, understated but balanced toffee and noble hop notes in the mouth and a soft malty hop bitter finish.

Oct 1, 2002 Light for on Oktoberfest, but a nice alternative to the standard. Crisp, and very Pilsner like. I would probably rate this higher if it was classified as a Pilsner.

Sep 3, 2002 Much lighter than what I normally expect from an Oktoberfest - almost looks like a pilsener. Pretty tasty, seems to be a little maltier than a regular lager.
