Commercial Description:
Amber colored, all-malt-lager, which possesses a modest bitterness and clean aroma. Crafted in the traditional Bavarian manner and resembles the Marzen-type Oktoberfest Biers as they are served at the fall festivities in Munich. It won the Gold Medal in the 2002 World Beer Championships.

Sampled at Famous Liquors Fall /Oktoberfest Tasting in Lombard, IL.. Poured a clear, brownish amber with a white, bubbly foam head and good lacing. The nose was toastiness and distinctive German malt aroma. The flavor followed with a hint of noble hop and light bitter/dryness. A decent, traditional Marzen.

Pours light copper with an off white head. Smells of bread, caramel, some earthy hints. Tastes toasty and breaddy with some dry malt presence and a tea like finish.

Appearance: Pours out a clear, deep amber body with a frothy, off-white head. Smell: Mild, understated nose of lightly toasty malts with some lesser notes spicy hops and somewhat inappropriate notes of caramel and fruit. Taste: Lightly toasty Munich maltiness with a small amount of mild caramel sweetness. A few fruity esters roaming the background. Spicy, lightly floral hops with a low amount of cleansing bitterness. The finish is both drying and lightly crisp. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A simple, light-tasting, no-brainer Oktoberfest beer. It’s just one of those very average, middle-of-the-beer type beers that, without scratching down a few notes on it, I would completely forget about it.

Pours a nice amber color with an off white head. Aroma is caramel, green apple, some toast, and a touch of earthyness. Flavor is caramel, toast, some green apple, and a light bitter earthy finish.

Why do I keep coming back this crap brewer? I will tell you why. It is because I am a beer whore. This pours a bright amber with a solid white cap displaying mediocre retention and no lace. Low aroma of corny malt kissed with caramel. Palate is largely the same. I am thankful that there was no weird chemical traits in this one though.
