A medium amber color with a rather persistent white head and nice lacing. On the sweet side for a marzen with a sweet fruity, floral, malty nose and a sweat fruity taste with notes of bread. Finish starts with a ping of bitter hops with a lingering sweetness afterward. The hops and malts are quite nicely balanced.

Sep 6, 2008 slightly hazy dark golden pour with a nice white head. Big aroma of bready/biscuity malt, and some nice subtle hops. The flavour is so smooth, and soft, some wicked malt flavours, lots of breadiness, and some great roasted crust. A tinge of apple actually in the finish along with some more sweet malt. What a great example of this style, absolutely spot on!

Sep 5, 2008 Rich gold amber color. Did a bit of a bad pour on this one which gave it to much head but it evened out soon enough. SOme basic marzen smells and sweet malty taste. But a few tinges of cashews and wood chips keep it interesting. Its ability to be both refreshing and full bodied pushed this one over the 3 mark.
