GreatLibations (1440), Last Supper, Arizona, USA Oct 20, 2006 Pours a beautiful copper color w/ a medium semi creamy froth leaving a dusty layer on top. Aroma is balanced malt and hop. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. Flavors are fruity w/ a nice malty backbone. Just enough hops to sustain a perfect balance. No annoying grassy hay aromas or flavors. Smooth w/ a crisp finish. Highly recommended. Gonzo (1), Wayne, Illinois, USA does not count Jul 5, 2005 In a beer drinkers life, this is the best beer I’ve ever had. It was superbly balanced, square in the palate and aeromatic on the finish. I couldn’t believe it when I was drinking it. baseballguy (246), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Oct 6, 2001 What a great lager. The fresh, live, citrusy flavor is exquisitely judged. And quite the kick on this baby! Terrific brewing. MaiBockAddict (1499), Good Beer Bar Deprived, New Jersey, USA Sep 2, 2003 If you want this beer, this is the time. Just off the boat, the beer was super fresh, had outstanding head retention and aroma, which is sometimes unusual for German bottled beer. The head stayed to the last drop, like it should. Malt flavor ranks right up their with the Paulaner/Hacker bunch. This beer is why Ayinger is one of the best and why Fall is my favorite beer season. Falconseye8 (525), Cartersville, Georgia, USA Nov 6, 2003 Updated: Jun 14, 2004Big white foamy head out of the bottle, a little lacing. Liquid Gold in color. In my opinion, not as good as Capital Fest or Leinenkugel Oktoberfest. My Opinion. Smooth drinkable marzen very tasty. I like it. mkobes (2103), paramus, New Jersey, USA Sep 3, 2003 Updated: Dec 1, 2003This beer is so good it was so fresh. I had it off a keg at a festival. Really enjoyable. Golden in color. Little sweet. Well balanced by malt and hops. Not a overpowering beer. If you are a fan of the fall and octoberfest, then get this beer. bigbeersrule (58), USA Oct 12, 2004 Very nice Oktoberfest beer. I had the opportunity to taste it side by side with Paulaner, Spaten and Weihenstephen fest beers all on tap. This one was my favorite and the one I thought most truly represented the style. Nice amber color, good Munich malt sweetness and a distinctive German charecter. bigred7 (44), Sarcoxie, Missouri, USA Oct 19, 2000 Very good for style. Nice malty nose and flavor. I’m not a big lager fan, but I really liked this beer.
