Malty, with a stale/old/sour flavor. Tastes like old beer. Given the volume at the brew pub, age doesn’t explain it.

Dec 5, 2009 On tap at Capitol City. Pours a clear orange with a thin white head. Nice big sweet caramel note with a bit of toast behind it. Odd sweetness, a bit grainy. Finishes with a nice balancing bitterness. Drinkable, but not memorable.

Nov 13, 2009 Sampled on draft at the brewpub, Shirlington location. Pours a clear copper color with a medium creamy head. Excellent head retention and lacing. Aroma is fairly faint with notes of toasted malts and caramel. Taste is caramel, nuts, lightly toasted malts and a slightly bitter, leafy hop finish. Medium bodied. A very well made marzen.

Amber color, clear. White head. Spicy saaz aroma. Grassy and a crisp pils malt. Very well balanced. Nice caramel. Light toast. Very stick glass, well made beer. Perfect to style. Finishes with a bit of fruit and a well bittered hop character. Medium bodied.

Oct 14, 2009 On tap in downtown. Pours a clear amber with a thin, white head. Great lacing. Aroma is honey, caramel, toasted malt. Taste at first is overwhelmed by cloying sweetness and then moves to caramel, honey. Dry, bitter finish. A bit syrupy mouthfeel. Not very impressive.

Oct 4, 2009 On tap. Pours a amber color with a small white head. Aroma is sweet malts, touches of grain. Pretty on target in the realm of Oktoberfest beers. Flavor is malty, tinge of hop character.

Oct 25, 2008 (On tap at Capitol City Brewing Capitol Hill Brewpub on October 17, 2008) Most notable (in my opinion) from this honey-amber brew was its grainy flavor. Malty and sweet. Yep, pretty grainy, might I say again. Syrupy palate. Not bad... it’s an Oktoberfest... what do you expect?
