Oct 10, 2004 The beer arrived in a 500 ml. bottle, with packaging styled similarly for most of this brewery’s offerings. The body was golden pale in color with a creamy off-white head that faded into decent lacing. The smell was very faint for the style, with only a hint of the underlying Munich caramel malts. The taste was a malty as anticipated but had a bit more hop bitterness and lemony tang than other festbiers I’ve had. There was also a faint metallic twang in there. The aftertaste was grainy and mouthfeel medium-thin. Sessionable seasonal offering, but not an exceptional drink.

Sep 30, 2006 Aroma jumps out at you. Very strong carmel, reminds me of molasses somewhat. Translucent orange body with several fingers worth of head. Very full body. Malt and carmel dominate the flavor. Some roasty presence. Some hops there, but this is definitely a malt-forward beer. Unfortunately, there’s just a hint of that roasted vegetable taste in it, I think. Goes away as you drink it. Not the best octoberfest I’ve had (as a result of the slight off-flavor, as well as the flavor not being as full as it could), but definitely one of the best. I wish I could find it on tap, since I’ve heard it’s exquisite that way.

Aug 14, 2004 Hazy light orange in color with a small but lasting head. Aroma is nutty and very malty. The flavor is very malty with some balancing bitterness. Very easy to drink: luckily my two half liters were on a Friday night.

Sep 14, 2009 Serving: 500 ml bottle.
Appearance: Pale amber with a very effervescent, foamy, white head. Okay head retention.
Aroma: Light toast and cracker notes. Dead on for the style I believe.
Taste: Malty and smooth with a bit of metallic and caramel notes. A bit on the sweet side.
Palate: Medium, smooth carbonation. Very soft on the tongue. Medium, slightly dry mouthfeel with a medium-short, sweet finish.
Overall: This one starts off great but is just a bit too sweet. Still, it is very good for the style. Worth giving a try if you are into Marzens.

Oct 8, 2002 Has a cloudy amber color and malty smell. The taste has a crisp bitterness and finishes the same, but sort of empty. It seems to be lacking any body. Overall, not the best beer.
