| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 6, 2008 draft at brewery- nicely done caramelized brew that was smooth and clean, but not one of my favorites at the brewery or in general. dkachur (2418), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 1, 2008 Served on draft at the brewery, initially as part of a sampler (I needed a couple of rerates) and then in the monster 24 oz. stein. Woot! Clear honey colored with a thin mottled looking head. The aroma is caramel, banana, grain, toffee and subtle noble hops. The taste is caramel, banana, hops, grain and some herbal and earthy notes. Medium body and lively carbonation. Proteus93 (66), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 29, 2008 A crisp, coppery-toned amber, topped with a nice, creamy head that’s ever-so-slightly offwhite.
A sharp, toasted amlt aroma with a hop edge and spiciness that is not so common in others I have had of the style. Interesting.
Quite a full-flavoured märzen! A notable flavour of the Hallertau hops, imparting quite an herbal touch which isn’t so much bitter, but strong enough to pair up with the malts quite sizeably. A spiciness to it that I would presume is just straight up freshness.
Sharp and crisp with a little zippy sting of carbonation on the tip of the tongue. A medium body with a little heft to it.
Goes down pretty easily, though that flavour can get a bit strong over the course of a glass. Good stuff, though, and something I truly wish were bottled. I’d like to have a few of these sitting around for later. Still another month of it, though, so that will have to do!
