Found this at the Carrboro Bev Company, my first time having this bier.

A: Pour a typical fest color, although it is a tad lighter than most. A good foam head that is thick and full; lasts for a couple minutes and yields consistent lacing on the glass--a good sign.
S: I must apologize, I am a little stuffed up at this point, but I can still get a little orange sweetness, malt, and coriander. Very inviting.
T: As opposed to the other American-made Festbiers, this is the fullest and richest one I have had to date. The taste follows the aroma very well and there are no surprise after tastes or the like. Very satisfying.
M: No harsh after-taste, no acid.
D: A good one, could have many of these without question.

Overall, this is my favorite American-made Oktoberfest bier. I was turned onto Bell's about 1.5 years ago and have not been disappointed in anything so far. Do yourself a favor and pick up many of these. Prosit!!
