12 oz bottle, 10/4/15. Aroma has caramel and toasted malts, some grassy and earthy hops, and a bit of spice. Tastes similar, slightly hopped up version of the style, as the malts get a little muted in the flavor. Drinks fine, though one could argue it leans a little too watery for the style. Not bad.

35 cl botle from a retailer in Manhattan, NY. Pours orange color, hazed, short creamy offhite head. Syrupy and hearty nose. Aroma: malt syrup, molasses and dough, yeast. There’s a more than decent hoppines, what i was hop(p)ing for. Somewhat fruity, very earthy, yet quite smooth. Taste malty-sweet with a nice bitter finish. Full bodied, average carbonation, smooth finish. Similarities: christoffel and Veltins Garvensteiner (unfiltered pilseners), very tasty, liked.

Bottle. Pours murky reddish amber with small off-white head. Dusty and malty aroma with sparse hoppy notes. Bitter, hoppy flavour with notes of malt and dust. Bitter finish. Decent but tastes more of an Altbier than an Oktoberfest.

Bottle I picked up as part of a mix six. Pours a clear a clear amber with a slight ruby hue and a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice grain and bread note with a hint of sweetness and light floral hops. Flavor similar with a drinkable grain note with a bit of sweet bread and just a hint of light fruit.
