An okay, but largely disappointing beer. Aroma and appearance are inviting, but the watery texture and less than full and complete flavor is a problem. Flavor is fading and altogether too weak. Sad.

Poured a light amber color with a generous head that faded to a thin coating. Somewhat malty intro that leads to a mildly carbonated mouthfeel that finishes with a bitter to sweet follow through. Some floral notes precede the hoppy conclusion. A fair to good beer.

<i> Bottle 355 ml </i><br /> <b> Appearance: </b> light amber with hint of gold , thick creamy large head 3+<br /><b> Nose: </b> off grainy nose, golden malt with farm feel, slightly spicy 4+ <br /><b> Flavor/Palate :</b> medium bodied. Soft mashed like malt feel , malty yet with mid short live. Vienna like in character. Solid, drinkable but not best in style.

Call me a looney tune but I expect my o-fests to not be golden in color. Well this is. The aroma sucks with some caramel notes but alot of corn. The flavor is malty with some caramel, corn, and oddly grassy notes. It’s like they tried to doctor up a pale lager to call it an o-fest. Pass!

very boring. A little watery, a little bland. Is not a good representation of a marzen. t does go down real smooth though. Pass on this one, I wish I did.

Clear copper pour with a small fizzy head. Sweet roasted malt and nuts in the aroma. Flavor is similar, with roasted malt and nuts. A bit thin on the palate, but not a bad brew.
