daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Feb 25, 2009 Light amber pour. Whitish head. Aroma of malt, malt and more lamt. Some caramel and bready notes evident as well. Flavor is full of a nice full bodied malt, bread and some caramel. All in all tihs is good shit. vanrassel (30), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Feb 22, 2009 Sadly, this style is a rarity (locally-brewed or imported) in this part of the world. It was nice to sample Ayinger, which poured with a creamy head over a copper-coloured body. The aroma was of lightly-toasted malt, with a slightly sweet, syrupy accent. The flavour was bready, though the toasted malt made it more like bread crusts. Nice dry finish, but the body could have been a bit smoother: the carbonation was a little prickly for the style. Skidds (252), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Feb 22, 2009 Poured amber in color with a creamy, off-white head that settle to a thin cover and left light lacing. The aroma was of caramel, spices, and a light roast. The flavor found chocolate and spices. Light body with a malty aftertaste. hobbersr (393), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Feb 11, 2009 Pours a golden amber with a nice sized head that dissapates but never really goes away. Aroma is malty, floral, some buttery toast, caramel, and a hint of crusty leaves. Tastes very buttery, tuns of toffee, toasted malt, spice and nuttyness. Really nice mouth feel, creamy and pleasantly sticky. Has a nice finish that lingers pleasantly. Really nice beer. paiste2002 (148), Saugus, California, USA Feb 9, 2009 Pours an orange amber color with a huge white head that falls off to some nice sticky white lace around the glass. Aroma is bready maltiness, caramel and some spiciness from the hops. Flavor is bready caramel maltiness with some spiciness from the hops in the finish. BrotherGrendel (551), San Diego (La Jolla), California, USA Feb 9, 2009 A- Pours a clear dark orange hue with amber tones, huge craggy off-white head that settles down to a thin layer, moderate lacing
S- Nose is moderate bread/biscuit malts and yeast, hints of caramel, spices, and slight citrus hops, very refreshing
T- Initial taste is sweet and rich malts with an overall bready flavor, transitions to grain and nuts (pecans), finishes with slight hop bitterness that resolves quite quickly
M- Light-to-medium body, creamy texture with lively carbonation
D- Nicely balanced marzen that seems to capture the essence of the traditional ’octoberfest’ style, very easy-to-drink with a robust taste profile Cavie (1317), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Feb 4, 2009 Tried on tap at Ginger man. I didn’t have very strong feelings either way on this one. adavis234 (133), Columbia, South Carolina, USA Jan 31, 2009 500ml bottle. Pours an orange-gold color with a thick, white head. Sweet malty, yeasty aroma. Delicious combination of malts and citrus on the palate with a slightly bitter hop aftertaste. A refreshing brew that is a steal for the price.
