Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Sort of disappointed in this one, though it very well may have been because it was Memorial Day weekend, and this is an Oktoberfest. I loved the golden color and the thin head. The flavor was a bit bolder than I expecting with an aftertaste experience sort of like after a shot of whiskey. I am rating this, though conditionally.

Draft pour, clear and golden color with a fine ringed head. German malt. a touch of honey in the nose. Medium-bodied, but elevated by the carbonation, and a soft lingering finish. Rich and malty in flavor with a crisp, bitter finish. Enjoyable. Would be fantastic with good German fair.

Bready aroma and flavor, a classic style Oktoberfest, not over the top flavor but still very good.
