Clear gold body that fails to prevent the average sized head from collapsing prematurely. Very little aroma. Malty flavor with a touch of hop bitterness. Low carbonation and light body make this an easy drinker.

Bottle. Aroma has a malt sweet fruit aroma. Golden body with white head. Body flavor is mainly medium sweet malt blend. Some fruit in flavor but hard to dintingish what maybe oranges. Medium sweet palate. Beer had a complexity to it, intriging.

Very pleasant aroma, somewhat wheat-like. Appears reddish-amber, very little carbonation. The flavor is weaker than I was expecting, but the palate is very smooth. Overall, a good beer, but not an excellent one.

Deep golden hue, nice lasting off-white head. Smell is a little over sweet, but nice fruit and caramel notes to it. Hop bitterness gives a cleanness to the caramel notes that predominate. Mouth feel is alomost chewy due to the carbonation. Solid beer.

Bottled. Poured a clear medium golden with just the faintest hint of orange in there... tall white head receded to an 1/8" layer after a couple minutes. Nose was of toasty (and possibly smoky) caramel, toffee, dried apricots, and other fruity esters. Flavor picked up toasty caramel throughout... with fruits around the edges, some leafy bitterness, and toffee. Very creamy, almost buttery on the palate... with just the right level of bitterness. Almost tacky at the finish, but held it together. This was a really tasty brew!

This is an exceptional marzen. Being of German heritage, Oktoberfest is a wonderful time to let my inner beer-lover out. It pours a nice gold with a decent offwhite head. It smells wonderfully malty and tastes the same. This is a really smooth beer with no aftertaste. Bold flavor, no aftertaste? Sweet.

On tap at brewery: Golden yellow with light tan head. Slightly bitter. Some malt and spice in aroma. Light bodied. Slightly sweet, maybe grape. Kind of basic.

Pours a hazy light gold with a thin white head that leaves some lacing. The aroma is sweet malt with a sour background. An underwhelmingly sweet flavor upfront. Malty with a bitter finish. It is fizzy and watery in the mouth. Nothing amazing.
