Jan 24, 2005 Pours a three-finger cream head that goes slowly and leaves a good lace. Clear amber color. Medium body and medium carbonation. Starts sweet and malty, finishes smooth with the sweetness still there. Nose is sweet and malty. 95¢ for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits, Acton, MA. The ABV is 5.0%.

Nov 22, 2005 This is the best I’ve had from Casco yet! Very good october beer, smooth, hoppy, malty, and just well balanced. I now have an alternate favorite to Gritty’s haloween. :)

Oct 13, 2005 Bottle from Ortino’s Northside. Pours heavy deep copper colored, with medium off-white head. Aroma of heavy grainy malt, fruit, corn flakes, some cabernet notes. The flavor was malty, with a dense palate and hints of grainy malt, nuts, brown sugar, and cabernet. Decent complexity. A very nice marzen.

Nov 1, 2004 Initially tasting it I thought it to be on the sweet side, but as this style begs for some good malt, that wasn’t distressing - then as the finish came through shortly thereafter I started to think this is the real deal - perhaps not THE BEST ever O-fest, but a VERY WELL made one that stands on its own. Well enjoyed.

Oct 5, 2005 (Bottle, best by 12/7/05) Rich looking, deep amber body, nice biscuit head, good head retention, but poor lacing. Aroma mildly sweet, bready. Mouthfeel good, smooth, touch of bitter at start, smooth finish. Tastes nice, smooth, mildly malty. Nice marzen.

Aug 31, 2005 Ur-Marzen, just wanted to write that. Nice brown-orange color that raised a finger full of head. Caramelized malt aroma. Malt is nicely braced by the bittering hops and leaves a well blended semi-sweet flavor. Maybe not world-class but an excellent seasonal offering by the local boys here in Portland.

Sep 20, 2006 Dark orange body with vey thin light tan head. Light scent, mostly of malt. Tasty but not as full flavored as some. Malty (somewhat roasty?) with light hop notes. Light medium body. A good Oktoberfest, but I’ve had better, I’m affraid.

Oct 17, 2005 Pours a medium copper, with moderate carbonation, and a small dissipating head. Lots of Saaz on the nose, very true to style. Taste has some good caramunich notes, but in my opinion, slightly overhopped for the style. Sweetness is just a touch too subdued. Finish is some light maltiness with a distinct saaz hoppiness. Very tasty, but just a bit out of balance for the style.
